To determine the number of significant figures in the given measurements, we will analyze each measurement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first measurement `1.60 x 10^(9) kg` - The number is in scientific notation, where `1.60` is the coefficient and `10^(9)` is the power of ten. - In scientific notation, all non-zero digits are significant. - The digits `1`, `6`, and `0` in `1.60` are significant. - Therefore, the total number of significant figures in `1.60 x 10^(9) kg` is **3**. ...
