4 significant figures. All figures are significant because the zeros are in between two significant digits
Hi there!
Simple conversion will greatly help us here. Below I'll list some common conversions for pounds and ounces.
16 ounces = 1 pound
32 ounces = 2 pounds
These will greatly aid us in finding how many ounces are in 3lb and 3 ounces. If we know that 2 pounds = 32 ounces then we know that by multiplying that by 4 we'll get how many ounces 8lb is.
32 ounces * 4 = 128 ounces.
However, we're not done there! There are also a leftover 3 ounces meaning once we add that to our 128 ounces we'll get our final answer.
3 ounces + 128 ounces = 8lb and 3 ounces.
131 ounces = 8lb and 3 ounces.
And that's our final answer. :)
