A) 6.07×10−¹⁰
B) 6.07×10−⁹
C) 6.07×10−¹¹
D) 6.07×10−¹²

Answer 1

The number 0.000000000607 in scientific notation is 6.07×10⁻¹⁰.

Step-by-step explanation:

To express the number 0.000000000607 in scientific notation with nine zeros, we need to move the decimal place to the right of the first non-zero digit which is 6. This gives us 6.07 as the coefficient. The number of places the decimal point has moved is equivalent to the exponent on the 10. Since we count nine zeros plus the digit 6, the decimal point has moved 10 places to the right, resulting in an exponent of -10.

Thus, the number 0.000000000607 in scientific notation is 6.07×10⁻¹⁰.
