c) 1,27,56,000 m
= 1.2756 × 1,00,00,000
= 1.2756 × 107 m

d) 1,400,000,000 m
= 1.4 × 1,000,000,000
= 1.4 × 109 m

e) 100,000,000,000
= 1 × 100,000,000,000
= 1 × 1011

f) 12,000,000,000 years
= 1.2 × 10,000,000,000
= 1.2 × 1010 years

g) 300,000,000,000,000,000,000 m
= 3 × 100,000,000,000,000,000,000
= 3 × 1020 m

h) 60,230,000,000,000,000,000,000
= 6.023 × 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
= 6.023 × 1022

i) 1,353,000,000 cubic km
= 1.353 × 1, 000,000,000
= 1.353 × 109 cubic km

j) 1,027,000,000
= 1.027 × 1,000,000,000
= 1.027 × 109
