Answer 1

To express the population of China, which is approximately 1,322,000,000, in scientific notation, we need to convert that number into a format where it is represented as a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10.

1,322,000,000 can be expressed as 1.322 × 10^9. This is because we move the decimal point 9 places to the left to get a number between 1 and 10.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

1.322 × 10^9 (1 point 3 2 2 times 10 to the 9th power).
