1. The problem asks: Which expression makes the statement "□ is 4 \times 10^9 as great as 2,000,000" true?
2. This means we want to find the value of □ such that:
$$\text{□} = 4 \times 10^9 \times 2,000,000$$
3. First, write 2,000,000 in scientific notation:
$$2,000,000 = 2 \times 10^6$$
4. Substitute this into the equation:
$$\text{□} = 4 \times 10^9 \times 2 \times 10^6$$
5. Multiply the coefficients and add the exponents of 10:
$$\text{□} = (4 \times 2) \times 10^{9+6} = 8 \times 10^{15}$$
6. Therefore, the expression that makes the statement true is:
$$8 \times 10^{15}$$
