Answer 1

If you were asked to express the weight in ounces of a ladybug in scientific notation, would the exponent of 10 be positive or negative? Justify your response. The exponent of 10 would be positive because the weight is measured and is attributed to a living organism hence, there’s no living organism measured in a negative value. Unless it was used otherwise.
