Answer

a) 1.14 $\times 10^{-1}$ gigadollars b) 1.14 $\times 10^{-4}$ teradollars

Work Step by Step

(a) We can convert the given amount into gigadollars as follows: $Amount=(\$114,000,000)(\frac{1~gigadollar}{1\times 10^9 dollars})$ $\implies Amount=0.114=1.14\times 10^{-1}~gigadollar$ (b) We can convert the given amount into teradollars as follows: $Amount=(\$114,000,000)(\frac{1~teradollar}{1\times 10^{12}dollars })$ $\implies Amount=1.14\times 10^{-4}~teradollars$
