So, the answer listed for part b is $62. Why is it 2 significant figures? Shouldn't it be $61.6 since 59.7 L is 3 significant figures? Here is my calculation: (59.7 L) x (1.0567 qt/1L) x (1 gal/ 4 qt) = 15.8 gallons x $3.90 = $61.6 I see for part A why it is 2 significant figures, since 1300 km is 2 significant figures, but shouldn't part b be 3 significant figures since the kilometers is not involved?
