Rule: Use a hyphen with terms that involve numbers and letters.
Examples (Part 1): early-1980s, mid-1990s, late-2000s
Example (Part 2): The Olympic gymnast, Nastia Luiken, scored high-9s on her routines in order to win the gold medal.
Now it's your turn. Write a sentence that correctly illustrates this rule for using hyphens.
