Calculation:
Consider the provided statement.
“According to a major auto manufacturer, the company invested more than $7 billion in manufacturing research and design”.
The number form is written through the following steps:
First read the wordsstarting from left towards right. In the provided statement, theprovided period is billion.
So, it must be followed by million, thousands and units. So, write the number with the commas inserted at each period name as:
7,__ _,_ _ _,_ _ _
As the period names of other periods is silent, fill in the remaining numbers in the respective periods with zeros. So, the number is:
$7,000,000,000
Therefore, thenumber described in words in the provided statement is $7,000,000,000.
