PLEASE HELP ME Jamie used a microscope to measure the diameter of a hair. She found that the diameter of the hair was 0.000072 meter. How is this number written in scientific notation?
A. 7.2 × 10−6
B. 7.2 × 105
C. 7.2 × 10−5
D. 7.2 × 106

The answer is C because it’s going back 5 times meaning it’s -5

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
