Answer 1

The correct answer is: 9,360,000,000 miles

Answer 2

To write the figure in standard form, you should express it as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10. The figure given, 9.36 × 10^8 miles, is already in standard form. So the correct answer is 9,360,000,000 miles, which corresponds to option 2.

Answer 3

To write the figure 9.36 × 108 miles in standard form, you move the decimal point to the right until you have a number between 1 and 10, and then multiply it by a power of 10. In this case, you move the decimal point 8 places to the right, so the answer is 9,360,000,000 miles, which is option 2: 9,360,000,000 miles.
