F. - How many µs are in 525,600 s?

Answer 1

5.256*10¹¹ µs

There are 1000000, or 10⁶, µs per second.

We can convert 525600 sec to 5.256*100000 sec aka 5.256 * 10⁵ sec to respect significant figures with scientific notation. From there we just multiply 5.256 * 10⁵ sec * 10⁶ µs/sec and get 5.256 * 10¹¹ by adding the exponents.

Let me know if that helps!
