To write 5,800 million metric tons in standard form, we need to multiply the given value by the corresponding power of 10.
First, we need to convert "5,800 million" to a regular number. Since "million" represents 1,000,000, we can write 5,800 million as 5,800 × 1,000,000.
Multiplying these two numbers gives us 5,800,000,000.
Now, we write this as a regular number by moving the decimal point to the left. Since there are nine zeroes in 1,000,000, we move the decimal point nine places to the left, resulting in 5.8.
Therefore, 5,800 million metric tons in standard form is 5.8 metric tons.
To write it in scientific notation, we express the value as the product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10. In this case, we move the decimal point to obtain a number between 1 and 10, resulting in 5.8.
Converting this to scientific notation, we use the power of 10, which represents how many times we moved the decimal point. Since we moved it nine places to the left, our power of 10 is -9.
Thus, 5,800 million metric tons in scientific notation is 5.8 × 10^9 metric tons.
