how do i solve this problem; (3.561x10^4)(2.89x10^-2)/(2.18x10^11)(5.5317x10^5) and i have to express it with the correct number of significant figures

OpenStudy (kl0723):

since 2.18 and 2.89 have the lowest number of s.f's you may want to stick with two s.f.'s for the whole operations to be more precise :) so solve it and express with two s.f's

OpenStudy (arbyj):

@kl0723 i got 6.47 x 10^3, is that correct?

OpenStudy (kl0723):

I get 8.53x10^-15 with correct s.f's
