Answer:

C. 9.08 x 10^-4

Explanation:

To write a number in scientific notation, write the number as the product of a number form 1 to under 10 and an integer power of 10.

0.000908

To write a number from 1 to under 10, you need 9.08

9.08 * 10^?

To go from 0.000908 to 9.08, the decimal point moved 4 places to the right, so the exponent on the 10 is -4.

9.08 * 10^-4

Answer: C. 9.08 x 10^-4
