# When we express the velocity of light, $30,00,00,000/ ms^{-1}$, in standard form up to three significant figures, it's value is:

$3.00\times { 10 }^{ 8 }\ { ms }^{ -1 }$

##### SOLUTION
Since all the zeros on the right of last non zero digit in the decimal part are significant.
$\Rightarrow 300000000=3.00\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

You're just one step away
