Answer:

The correct answer is A)- it makes it easy to write large or small numbers.

Explanation:

Scientific notation facilitates the calculations by writing both large and small numbers in a more condensed form. It makes easier dealing with very large or very small numbers in science.

A very large number is: 5,700,000,000⇒ in scientific notation is 5.7 x 10⁹

A very small number is: 0.0000000028⇒ in scientific notation is 2.8 x 10⁻⁹
