Hey guys im new here! I wanted to run a few numbers by you if you don't mind.
My homework is sig fig related.

Round the hollowing to 3 sig figs:
a. 0.009078 = 0.00908
b. 3 555 800 = 3 560 000
c. 3.463 x 10^3 = 3460
d. 3.9004 = 3.90

And also:
a. 450 meters to nanometers = 4.5 x 10^11
b. 65m/s to km/h = 234 km/hr
c. 50 000 ml to meters cubed = 0.05 m3


Could you guys verify those numbers for me? Any help is appreciated!

That should be 4.50 x 10<sup>11</sup> nm. 4.5 is only 2 significant digits.
