Here's the next bit about using hyphens correctly so your writing is the best it can be.
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 two sentences that correctly illustrates this rule for using hyphens.
Please make sure to review your post before submitting it.

The weather man predicted that the weather would be in the low-60s by Wednesday.
I think that the mid-to-late-90s had the best television shows.
