If a raindrop weighs 65mg on avg. and 5.1*10^5 raindrops fall on a lawn every minute, what mass (in kg) of rain falls in 1.5 hours.
The answer I, getting is 2,983.5 kg, but my chem book is telling me 3,000. I think the book might just be generalizing but I'm not sure, and seeing as how it's summer and I'm just studying for the hell of it, I have no professor to correspond with.

65 mg/raindrop x 5.1 x 10^5 raindrops/min. = 33.150 kg/ min...
33.150 kg/ min. x 90 min. = 2,984 kg...
33.150 kg/ min. x 90 min. = 2,984 kg...
