Answer

$6,120$

Work Step by Step

To convert a number in scientific notation to a number in standard notation, we must move the decimal point to the left or right by the exponent of $10$ in the scientific notation. If the exponent is positive, we move the decimal right. If the exponent is negative, we move the decimal left. We are trying to convert $6.12\times10^{3}$ to standard notation. Since the exponent of $10$ is $+3$, we move the decimal point $3$ places to the right, giving us $6,120$.
