Sorry -- I don't know.

1.250 * 10^8

Of course! I can help you convert the number 1,250 x 10^5 into scientific notation.

Scientific notation is a way to express very large or very small numbers in a concise form. In this case, we have the number 1,250 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 5. To convert it to scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point in 1,250 so that there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point.

1,250 can be written as 1.250 × 1,000. Since 1,000 equals 10^3, we can rewrite this as 1.250 × 10^3.

Now, to account for the extra factor of 10 raised to the power of 5, we need to multiply 10^3 by 10^5. This gives us 10^8.

So, the scientific notation for 1,250 x 10^5 is 1.25 x 10^8.
