To convert the number from scientific notation (9.125 E10) to standard form, you need to multiply 9.125 by \(10^{10}\).

This means shifting the decimal point in 9.125 ten places to the right:

  1. Start with 9.125.
  2. Move the decimal point 10 places to the right.

Doing so gives us:

  • Moving it 1 place: 91.25
  • Moving it 2 places: 912.5
  • Moving it 3 places: 9125
  • Moving it 4 places: 91250
  • Moving it 5 places: 912500
  • Moving it 6 places: 9125000
  • Moving it 7 places: 91250000
  • Moving it 8 places: 912500000
  • Moving it 9 places: 9125000000
  • Moving it 10 places: 91250000000

So the final result, in standard form, is \(91,250,000,000\).

Thus, the number in standard form is:

91250000000
