An advantage of using scientific notation over standard notation is that: a) It can shorten numbers with many digits while retaining its value.
b) It can manipulate the number of significant figures while retaining its value. c) Both of the above.
d) None of the above.

It is reasonable to assume that the bulk modulus of blood is about the same as that of water (2.2 gpa). as one goes deeper and deeper in the ocean, the pressure increases by 10000 pa for every meter below the surface. if a diver goes down 80.0 m in the ocean, by how much does each cubic centimeter of her blood change in volume? give the answer in cubic centimeters (actually one cubic centimeter equals one milliliter).
