Will give BRAINLIEST if right!
The E. coli bacterium is about 5×10^−7 meters wide. A hair is about 1.7×10^−5 meters wide. Which is wider, the bacterium or the hair?

The bacterium

The same width

The hair

Respuesta :

   5 × 10^−7 = 0.0000005
1.7 × 10^−5 = 0.000017

answer
The bacterium is wider
Here is your answer:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Figure out the notations:                                                                                    5*10^-7=.00000005                                                                                             1.7*10^-5=.0000017                                                                               So based on the results your answer will be the bacterium because when doing scientific notation that is asking you to compare to a negative to a negative make sure its the one with less zeros because the one with more is less.                                                                                                                                 Your answer is A.
