Which measurement would be least likely to be written in scientific notation : A. the thickness of a dog hair. B. the radius of a period on this page. C. the ounces in a cup of milk?

Answer: The ounces in a cup of milk would be least likely to be written in scientific notation. Hence the option C. the ounces in a cup of milk is correct.

Scientific notation is used for either very large or extremely small numbers.

Thickness of dog hair is very small as hair is thin. Hence can be converted to scientific notation.

Radius of a period on this page is also be pretty small. Hence can be converted to scientific notation.

The ounces in a cup of milk.There are 8 ounces in a cup, so this is least likely to be written in scientific notation.
