The distance around the earth at the equator is more than 130,000,000 feet. Write this number in scientific notation. 

To write **130,000,000 feet** in scientific notation, follow these steps:

1. Place the decimal point after the first non-zero digit: **1.3**
2. Count the number of places you moved the decimal point to the left to reach this position. In this case, it’s **8** places.
3. Multiply by 10 raised to that power.

Thus, **130,000,000** in scientific notation is:

\[
1.3 \times 10^8 \, \text{feet}
\]
