Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number given is 40.1 million, which can be written in standard form as 40,100,000. Choice A is the only one that matches this form. Standard form involves writing a number without any commas, so we need to remove the comma in 40,100,000 to get 40100000, making (A) the best choice. (B) and (C) are both too large, and (D) removes a zero that should be included, so it is not the standard form of the number given.
