i think A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8.6 e +12 = 8.6 x 10^12 , so you want to move decimal place to the right 12 places counting from the far right we have 3,6,9,12 decimal places , so it has to be 8,600,000,000,000

8 with 12 digits behind it. So it's A

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

The answer would be A. move the decimal place 12 places over.the first placement will give you 86, then 860, untill you reach 12 ^.^
