the question asks to convert it to Japanese yen, I did so and wasn't sure what the sig figs should come out to be, I figured it to be four sig figs because when finding the mass in grams, we multiply by 10.49 which has four sig figs and I carried it through to the end, reaching 2.1935x105 Japanese Yen. Is this correct in terms of answers AND in terms of significant figures?
When you convert feet to inches, how do you decide which part of the conversion factor should be in the numerator and which in the denominator?
Perform the following calculation and input the answer expressed to the correct number of significant figures.
(264.3−258) ÷ 65=_____
I think the answer is 0.09692308 so significant figure is 7?
