Answer: E.  [tex]1.5\times10^8[/tex]

Explanation:

Given: The number of bacteria found in  1 milliliter of water of coastal ocean. =[tex] 1,500,000[/tex]

Then, the number of bacteria found in  100 milliliters of water of coastal ocean =[tex] 1,500,000\times100[/tex]

⇒ The number of bacteria found in  100 milliliters of water of coastal ocean =[tex] 150,000,000[/tex]

In standard notation, [tex] 150,000,000=1.5\times10^8[/tex]

Hence, the number of bacteria found in  100 milliliters of water of coastal ocean = [tex]1.5\times10^8[/tex]
