We need to first move the decimal two (2) places to the left:
480 = 4.80 x 102
The 2 in 102 comes from how many places we moved the decimal. It's positive because the number it represents is larger (480 > 4.8)
With one significant figure, we need to round to the nearest whole number:
5 x 102
The answer is 5 x 102
What else can I help you with?
If I have the number 0.0357 and I want to express this answer in only significant figures what would the answer be and why?

(if there is to be one significant figure) 2 * 102(if there are to be two significant figures) 2.0 * 102 (if there are to be three significant figures) 2.00 * 102
How many significant figures are in the quantity of 400 m?
The quantity of 400 m has one significant figure unless specified otherwise. If it is written as 400. or in scientific notation (e.g., 4.00 × 10²), it would indicate three significant figures. Without additional notation, the trailing zeros in 400 are not considered significant. Therefore, it is typically interpreted as having one significant figure.
What is the correct powers of ten notation for the value 483.54 with three significant figures?
To three significant figure, 483.54 becomes 484. The rule when rounding off numbers is "If the first figure to be discarded is 5 or more then the previous figure is increased by 1". Expressed in Scientific Notation, 484 becomes 4.84 x 102.
