Sure! When Charlee sees 1.78E12 on her calculator, it’s a way of writing a really big number using scientific notation. The "E" stands for "exponent," which means "times ten to." So, 1.78E12 means 1.78 times 10 raised to the 12th power.
This means you take 1.78 and then move the decimal point 12 places to the right. It’s like if you had 1.78 and added a bunch of zeros after it. In simpler terms, it means she has a number that looks like this:
1,780,000,000,000
That’s 1.78 trillion! So Charlee's calculator is telling her that the product of the two large numbers she multiplied is a huge number, 1.78 trillion!
