Answer 1

C. 8.9 × 10^6

Explanation:

There isn't really much to explain, this is just how scientific notation works. It's always X.Y x 10^z power

If that didn't make sense, it's just the first number, followed by a decimal, followed by all others that are not 0, followed by 10^[the amount of 0s after]
