Question

The proper scientific notation for 676,000,000,000 is?

Answer 1

6.76 x 10^11
this is because when you are placing something in a scientific notation you basically move the decimal place behind the last hole number in this case 6. and count the remaining  numbers behind the decimal such as .76,000,000,000 which there 11 counting 76 with the zeros. then you place the number of places behind the decimal as an exponent of 11 and keep all real numbers besides 0 as your other half
