To write **228,000** in scientific notation:

1. Move the decimal point to the left until you have a number between 1 and 10.
   - \( 228,000 \) becomes \( 2.28 \).
   
2. Count how many places you moved the decimal point:
   - The decimal was moved **5** places to the left.

Therefore, in scientific notation, \( 228,000 \) is written as:
\[
2.28 \times 10^5
\]

Does that make sense, or would you like any further clarification?
