Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 36E
Read each measurement to the correct number of significant figures. Note: Laboratory glassware should always be read from the bottom of the meniscus. Digital balances normally display mass to the correct number of significant figures for that particular balance.

Two separate masses of zinc were measured on a laboratory balance. The first zinc sample had a mass of 210.10 g, and the second zinc sample had a mass of 235.10 g. The two samples were combined. The volume of the combined sample was found to be 62.3 mL. Express the mass and density of the zinc sample in the correct number of significant figures.
Convert 75 miles into meters. (Use the conversion 1.0 km = 0.621 miles and use metric conversions for the rest of the conversions).
