Why is 3.2 billion equal to 3200000000000?

Answer 1

3.2 billion is equal to 3.2 multiplied by 1 billion, which is 3.2 x 1,000,000,000. When you express 1 billion in numerical form, it is 1,000,000,000 (or 10^9). Therefore, 3.2 billion can be written as 3.2 x 10^9, which is equal to 3,200,000,000. However, the correct representation of 3.2 billion is actually 3,200,000,000, not 3,200,000,000,000 (which is 3.2 trillion).
