Answer:

[tex]2*10^{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

One billion is equal to  one thousand million

1 billion is equal to 1,000,000,000

so

Multiply by 2

2 billion is equal to  2,000,000,000

Remember that

In scientific notation, a number is rewritten as a simple decimal multiplied by 10  raised to some power, n

n is simply the number of zeroes in the  full written-out form of the number  

In this problem n=9  

so

[tex]2,000,000,000=2*10^{9}[/tex]
