Answer:
Since the exponent on 10 is positive, I know they are looking for a LARGE number, so I'll need to move the decimal point to the right, in order to make the number LARGER. Since the exponent on 10 is "12", I'll need to move the decimal point twelve places over.
First, I'll move the decimal point twelve places over. I make little loops when I count off the places, to keep track:
3.6 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
Then I fill in the loops with zeroes:
3.600000000000.
In other words, the number is 3,600,000,000,000, or 3.6 trillion
