C. [tex][tex]$9.27 \cdot 10^{12}$[/tex][/tex]
D. [tex]$9.27 \cdot 10^{15}$[/tex]



Answer :

To convert 9.27 million into scientific notation, we need to understand what "million" means. One million is equal to [tex]\( 1,000,000 \)[/tex], which can also be written as [tex]\( 10^6 \)[/tex], because 1,000,000 is equal to [tex]\( 10^6 \)[/tex].

Given that:

[tex]\[ 9.27 \text{ million} = 9.27 \times 1,000,000 \][/tex]

we can rewrite this as:

[tex]\[ 9.27 \times 1,000,000 = 9.27 \times 10^6 \][/tex]

Therefore, the scientific notation for 9.27 million is:

[tex]\[ 9.27 \times 10^6 \][/tex]

So, the correct answer is:

B. [tex]\( 9.27 \cdot 10^6 \)[/tex]
