Isn't it just like 6*10^3?  I don't know its been a while since I've had to worry about significant figures and I could be way off but that's the guess I'm throwing into the ring.  I think you could even just write 6,000 ?

There are more people imprisoned for the commission of drug offenses in the United States - close to 500,000 - than are incarcerated in England, France, Germany, and Japan for all crimes combined.  Examined in another way, the United States has 100,000 more people incarcerated for nonviolent drug offenses than all the countries of the European Union combined, despite the fact that the European Union has 100 million more citizens. :crankey:

Oh shit, I didn't notice that tiny little negative sign before the 3.75.  I'm now pretty sure that the answer is .0002, and would have been 6,000 if the 3.75 was positive instead of negative.

Sounds like the right answer :smile:

10^-3.75 = 1 / 10^3.75 = 1 / 5623.4132519 = 0.000177827941004

0.000177827941004 rounded to 1 significant figure is 0.0002

Thanks for the help, I ended up skipping it because nothing was working. I tried everything you guys suggested but the online class thing is stupid. Luckily it's not mine, I was helping some one else.
