C. Sarah is not correct because 1.5006 should be 1.5

D. Sarah is not correct because the exponent should be -4

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option B. is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah converts the number 1500600 into scientific notation. She writes [tex]1.5006\times 10^{4}[/tex].

Therefore [tex]1.500600=1.5006\times 1000000=1.5006\times 10^{6}[/tex] is the correct representation.

Sarah should have written exponent as 6 in place of exponent 4.

Therefore Sarah is not correct.

Option B. is the correct option.
