Hello!

First, let's remember just one thing about scientific notation:

• The numbers in scientific notation can be written in the interval from 1 to 9.999...


1\le x<10

Knowing it, let's answer your question.

We have the number 96,989,200. Notice that as it must be bigger than 1 and smaller than 10, we have to change the dot, look at the image:

Notice that as the dot was dislocated 7 units to left, so we can rewrite this number as:


9.69892\cdot10^7

Right answer: B.
