There are 1609.344 metres in one mile. Therefore, rounded to three significant figures, 60 metres is equal to 60/1609.344 = 0.0373 miles.
2000*60=120 000 as 2000 is taken to have only one significant figure, we have a result of 100 000
The fact that there is a trailing zero and the number is not given as 60 is indicative that the number is accurate to the nearest hundredths. Therefore, it has four significant figures.
A decminal place is simply the number of digits to the right of the decimal in a number. For instance, 37.5834 has four decimal places. In contrast, a significant figure is the number of digits on either side of the decimal place that can be counted as accurate in a calculation. Significant figures are used to determine how accurate a calculation is based on how accurate the measurements are. Significant figures are determined by counting the number of significant figures in the numbers given in a problem (usually in chemistry or physics) then using the lowest count found. Here's an example: "calculate the average velocity of a car that has travelled 45 km in 60 minutes." The number "45" has two significant figures while the number "60" has one significant figure. Therefore, when calculating the velocity (45/60), the answer can have only one significant figure: 0.8 km/min. However, if the time was written as "60.0" minutes, then this number would have three significant figures and the answer could have two significant figures (0.75 km/min) because the number "45" had two significant figures.
25.4 mm = 1 in → 60 mm = 60 ÷ 25.4 in ≈ 2.36 in
One day is equal to 60 x 60 x 24 = 86400 seconds. Therefore, rounded to three significant figures, 599 seconds is equal to 599/86400 = 0.00693 days.
