let
b = 26,000,000,000 = 2.6*10^10 cells the number of cells the baby has written in scientific notation
a = the number of cells that the adult has
an adult has about 1.9* 10^3 times as many as the baby
a = 1.9* 10^3*2.6*10^10
a = (1.9*2.6)8(10^3*10^10)
a = 4.94*10^13 cells is the scientific notation
the adult has 4.94*10^13 cells.
