1. Move the decimal:

* Start with 110,000.

* Move the decimal point 5 places to the left (until you have a number between 1 and 10). This gives you 1.10000.

2. Multiply by a power of 10:

* Since you moved the decimal 5 places to the left, you need to multiply by 10 raised to the power of 5 (10⁵).

3. The answer:

* 110,000 meters in scientific notation is 1.1 x 10⁵ meters.
