Okay thank you Mr. Damon and Ms. Sue!
To rewrite a number in scientific notation, we need to express it in the form of "a × 10^b", where "a" is a number between 1 and 10, and "b" is an integer.
Let's break down the given number, 5,000,000:
1. Start by moving the decimal point to the left until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. In this case, we move the decimal point five places to the left so that we have 5.000000.
2. Count the number of places the decimal point has moved. Since we moved it five places, we now have 5.000000 × 10^5.
3. Finally, remove any trailing zeros after the decimal point. In this case, we can simplify the number to 5 × 10^5.
So, the number 5,000,000 rewritten in scientific notation is 5 × 10^5.
