Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert a decimal number to scientific notation, we move the decimal point to the right until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. Count the number of places you moved the decimal point. This is the power of 10 in the scientific notation. In this case, we move the decimal point 8 places to the left to get the number 3.7. Therefore, the scientific notation is 3.7 × 10^-8, which matches option A.
