The GPD of Brazil in 2008 was roughly 1.6 trillion. How do you write this in scientific notation?

Answer:
Choice B) [tex]1.6 \times 10^{12}[/tex] is final answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that GDP of Brazil in 2008 was roughly 1.6 trillion.
Now we have to write the given number in scientific notation.
Means write in terms of powers of 10.
we know that 1 trillion = 1,000,000,000,000
or 1 trillion [tex]= 10^{12}[/tex]
Then 1.6 trillion [tex]= 1.6 \times 10^{12}[/tex]
Hence final answer is [tex]1.6 \times 10^{12}[/tex] .
So choice B is correct.
