Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The number Sarah has is 1500600

She needs to convert it into scientific notation hence

The decimal will move one by one

$1500600*10^0$

$150060.0*10^1$

$15006.00*10^2$

$1500.600*10^3$

$150.0600*10^4$

$15.00600*10^5$

$1.500600*10^6$

Removing zeros after 6

$1.5006*10^6$

It means the exponent she used,must be 6.    :   Answer
