Answer:

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The number Sarah has is 1500600

She needs to convert it into scientific notation hence

The decimal will move one by one


1500600*10^0


150060.0*10^1


15006.00*10^2


1500.600*10^3


150.0600*10^4


15.00600*10^5


1.500600*10^6

Removing zeros after 6


1.5006*10^6

It means the exponent she used,must be 6. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
