Help!! :D Estimate the value as a product of a single digit and a power of 10. 980,000,000 i know the first step is 9.8 but it cant be that soooo idk what to do

so you are a good start knowing that it is 9.8

now you know when you multiply by 10 you move the decimal place over one so take 9.8 and count how many times you need to move the decimal place over to get 980,000,000
