Answer 2

I don't really understand which number we have to write in scientifc notation but I am assuming it is the number 560,000,000,000,000,000.

Ok so, 560,000,000,000,000,000 in scientific notation is 5.6 x 10^17.

This is because if you count the number of spaces behind the decimal point of 5.6 it is equal to 17. So, you would write the answer 5.6 x 10^17.
