Convert the number to standard form.
8.71 xx10^(12)

8.71 xx10^(12)

The exponent is a positive number. This means the decimal point moves to the right by  the number of the exponent.

There are two digits to the right of the decimal point, so to move the decimal 12 places, you would need to add 10 zeros.

8.71 x 10^12 becomes 8,710,000,000,000.

answer: given that the roller coaster can accommodate 1600 riders per hour, thus the roller coaster can accomodate 1600 / 60 = 26.67 riders per minute.

given that there are 345 people in the line, the number of minutes it will take for the 345 persons to get into the roller coaster is given by 345 / 26.67 = 12.94 minutes.

therefore, it will take you 12.94 minutes to get to the front of the line.
