Answer 1

Sarah is not correct because the exponent should be 6

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option B. is the answer.

Explanation:

Sarah converts the number 1500600 into scientific notation. She writes
`1.5006* 10^(4)`.

Therefore
`1.500600=1.5006* 1000000=1.5006* 10^(6)` 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.
