Use the following information to complete parts I, II, and III. 1 hour=3600 seconds
1 year = 31556952 secondsI. Use scientific notation to estimate the number of hours in one year. II. Use scientific notation to calculate the exact number of hours in one year. III. In two or more complete sentences, compare your answers to parts I and II. In your comparison, discuss similarities and differences.

I) 8.760 * 10 ³ hours

II) 8.76582 * 10 ³ hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1) No. of hours in one year:

24 hours* 365 days= 8760 hours

Scientific Notation= 8.760 * 10 ³ hours

2) 1 year = 31556952 seconds

1 hour=3600

1 year = 31556952 seconds/3600  = 8765. 82 hours

Scientific Notation= 8.76582 * 10 ³ hours

3) The exact numbers of hours using 365 days is 8760 which is written as 8.760* 10 ³ in scientific notation. But using the given data we get =8.76582 * 10 ³ hours

Comparing these answers the first one  has only 3 significant figures

But the second answer has six significant figures if we round these we get 8.8  * 10 ³ hours which has two significant numbers

Aslo rounding the first gives 8.8 * 10 ³ hours which has two significant numbers  and is the same as the other answer rounded
