please choose the best answer that describes the scientific notation for 3,134,000,000
To do scientific notation of 3,134,000,000 we need to move teh decimal places to the left till we get a number between 1 and 10.
3,134,000,000
Move the decimal 9 places to the left to get : 3.134
Now, since we moved it 9 places to the left, we need to multiply it.
