To put the number in scientific notation must put it between 1 and 10 times 10^x
Where x is the number of decimals
48,020,000 = 4.802 * 10^x
To find x count that we move the decimal point how many places
The decimal point is after the last zero
How many places to be between 4 and 8
There are 7 places between the last 0 and 4
So the answer is
[tex]4.8020\times10^7[/tex]
