Thank you so much for an answer if you do respond. I need the answer to be in the correct number of significant figures as well as in scientific notation.

question:
By mistake, 1000.0cm3 of oil was dumped into a pond with a surface area of 850.0m2 the density of the oil was 0.850g/cm3. How thick was the resulting oil slick? Remember to use significant figures and scientific notation.

Thanks so much for your help if you do choose to help me :) and if its not too much please try and show your work i want to learn from this.

First, convert 850.0 m^2 to cm^2 to match the volume of oil. It would come out to 8,500,000 cm^2. Now set up V=lwh (length times width times height). You are looking for thickness, which is height.

1000.0cm^3 = (8.500*10^6 cm^2)(h)

1000.0/(8.500*10^6) = h
