There is a sign that says 150,000 gallons/second of water flows over Niagra Falls
[Link]
The sign also says that 567,810 L/s flows over the falls
This is a gross misuse of significant figures. There is an inherent uncertainty in the initial measurement that implies an approximate flow of 140,000 to 160,000 gal/s or +/- 10,000 gal. How can you then convert your original measurement to a number that is plus or minus 10 L which about the volume of your average toilet tank.
Rules for Counting Significant Figures
All nonzero digits are significant. (1,5,9,2) Zeros between nonzero digits are significant. (5.007) Zeros to the left of the first nonzero digit are not significant. (0.00027) Zeros that fall both at the end of a number and to the right of the decimal point are significant. (0.00250) When a number ends in zeros but contains no decimal point, the zeros may or may not be significant. (5200)

E-Instruction
Which of the following numbers has three significant figures? A. B. C. D. E. 0.001 0.0460 100 3.0 x 102 7.246
Significant Figures and Calculations
Multiplication/Division
the result must be reported as having no more significant figures than the measurement with the fewest significant figures (23.40 x 0.560 = 13.1)
Addition/Subtraction
the result should be reported to the same number of decimal places as that of the term with the least number of decimal places (23.40 + 0.560 = 23.96)
56
E-Instruction
Complete the following calculation to the correct number of significant figures: 7.87 16.1 8.44

Dimensional Analysis
Section 1.6
A method of problem solving in which units are carried through all calculations. Dimensional analysis ensures that the final answer of a calculation has the desired units.

Example
