Answer 1

To convert the number \(5.1 \times 10^7\) from scientific notation to decimal notation, you move the decimal point 7 places to the right because of the exponent 7.

Starting with 5.1, moving the decimal point 7 places results in:

• Move 1: 51
• Move 2: 510
• Move 3: 5100
• Move 4: 51000
• Move 5: 510000
• Move 6: 5100000
• Move 7: 51000000

So, \(5.1 \times 10^7\) written in decimal notation is 51,000,000.
