To convert a number to scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to the right or left so that there is only one digit to the left of the decimal point. In this case, we need to move the decimal point 12 places to the left.

Starting with 9,085,000,000,000, we move the decimal point 12 places to the left: 9,085,000,000,000.0

Since we are left with 9.085 and moved the decimal point 12 places to the left, we can write the number in scientific notation as 9.085 × 10^12.
