Ahuman red blood cell is about 0.000008 meters in diameter which of the following represents this number in scientific notation -6 a. 0.8 x10 -6 b . 8.0 x 10 6 c. 0.8 x 10 6 d. 8.0 x

Given:

Diameter of a red blood cell = 0.000008

To determine:

The scientific notation corresponding to the given number

Explanation:

Scientific notation is a concise way of representing a very large or small number. It is written in two parts:

Given Number = Digits * Power of 10

In this case we have:

0.000008 = 8.0 * 10⁻⁶
