Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part I: Use scientific notation to estimate the number of hours in one year

Using the conversion factors

Estimate using scientific notation

31,556,952 seconds = 3.2 *  10^7

3600 seconds = 3.6 * 10 ^2

1 year = 3.2 *  10^7 seconds * 1 hour/ 3.6 * 10 ^2 seconds

3.2 /3.6 =.88888 (repeating)    

10^7 / 10^2 = 10^5

8.88888 * 10 ^5

8.888 * 10 ^4 hours

Part II: Use scientific notation to calculate the exact number of hours in one year.

 31,556,952 seconds = 3.1556952 *  10^7

3600 seconds = 3.6 * 10 ^2

1 year = 3.1556952 *  10^7 seconds * 1 hour/ 3.6 * 10 ^2 seconds

3.1556952 /3.6 =.876582    

10^7 / 10^2 = 10^5

.876582 * 10 ^5      

8.76582*10^4 hours

Part III: In two or more complete sentences, compare your answers to parts I and II. In your comparison, discuss similarities and differences in your answers.

Part II is an exact answer, where Part I is an estimate.  Both Parts give values in the thousands of hours,  and are both  between 8700 and 8900 hours.  Part I can be done without a calculator where Part II is much harder to do without a calculator.
