The units of the metric system are all designed to convert by powers of ten, so for example, ten millimeters is a decimeter, ten decimeters is a centimeter, ten centimeters is a meter, etc. When you have a large number of powers of ten, you can conveniently describe it by means of scientific notation, using exponents. So, a trillion meters is 1012 meters.

Because exponential or scientific notation needs less digits for very large numbers and metric units are preferred because they are in multiples of 10 thus avoiding mistaken calculations.
How do you change each unit to engineering notation using metric prefixes 119 000?
To convert 119 000 to engineering notation with metric prefixes, we would express it as 119 x 10^3 since 1 kilo (k) is equivalent to 10^3. Thus, in engineering notation, 119 000 would be written as 119 k.
