Rewrite the statement using a number in scientific notation.

 

1) the number of different eight character passwords that can be made with 26 letters and 10 numerals is approximately 2.8 trillion.

2) a beam of light can travel the length of a football field in about 30 nanoseconds. Express your answer in seconds.

Ps- I know that nano means one billionth but im still lost

2.8 trillion = 2,800,000,000,000 = 2.8 x 10^12 passwords

 

30 nanoseconds = .000 000 030 seconds = 3 x 10^(-8)

You can use the calculator to do this    enter  30  divided by 1 000 000 000 then =   and = again ....
