Solution Steps
To convert the amount from dollars to teradollars, we need to understand the conversion factor. One teradollar is equal to $10^{12}$ dollars. Therefore, we can divide the given amount by $10^{12}$ to get the amount in teradollars.
Step 1: Understand the Conversion Factor
To convert dollars to teradollars, we need to use the conversion factor \(1 \text{ teradollar} = 10^{12} \text{ dollars}\).
Step 2: Perform the Conversion
Given the amount in dollars is \( \$154,000,000 \), we divide this amount by \(10^{12}\) to convert it to teradollars.
\[
\text{Amount in teradollars} = \frac{154,000,000}{10^{12}}
\]
