#3 times 10^5#

Explanation:

So I don't really know what they mean by the "second" three (that's not a well-defined phrase), but I assume you have some context in your class by which to decide. I'm choosing the one on the left.

We count that there are 5 numbers to the right of our number, meaning that it's in the 100,000 place, which is #10^5#. Therefore, that digit is equivalent to #3 times 10^5#.
