Scientific notation implies that all the zeros are taken away and replaced with a 10 raised to whatever appropriate power would be necessary to make the number in scientific notation equal to the original number.
In the number 780,000,000, we can see that there are 7 zeros, but the number before the zeros has two digits, so we need to tuck the decimal point in there, because the number has to be between 1 and 10 for math reasons.
7.8 ... but what do we raise it to? We know it has to be 10, but to what power? Well, we just count how many places to the left the decimal point has traveled. From the original number, the decimal point shifted 8 places to the left, so that is the number that we will raise the 10 to.
The final number looks like this:
780,000,000 in scientific notation is <span>
Hope that helped =)</span>

Answer:
- 18 baseball cards
- 12 football cards
Step-by-step explanation:
The only relationship shown in the table is in week 1, where the ratio of baseball to football cards is ...
baseball : football = 9 : 6
In week 1, the total of these numbers is 15. You want the total in week 5 to be 30, double the total in week 1. So, Thomas needs to purchase double the numbers he purchased in week 1:
- 18 baseball cards
- 12 football cards

This table came from another question you posted, a question with no content other than the table. The blue numbers are blanks in the original table that have been filled in so as to keep the same 3:2 proportion in each week. They appear to have no bearing on this question.
