Since it was a multiple choice question, we were trying to round our answers to easier numbers like 1 or 10 in order to figure out which answer choice was closest to our estimate of 1 x 10^-5. In the end, we figured that 1.7x10^-5 rounds DOWN to 1 x 10^-5 while 8.3x10^-6 rounds UP to 1 x 10^-5. Which answer did we choose? Well, since our estimated value was calculated by rounding UP, we knew that our actual answer should be lower than what we estimated. Making our answer D.
6:44 it says 90 degrees sine is 0.9 instead of 1 (or 65 degrees )

Are there answer keys to your worksheets?
Some of them, yes. For math, that is solved in the MCAT Study Hall, or you can use your calculator to check your work (ironic, I know lol)
How does 1.7x10 round to 1 instead of 2? And how does 8.3x10 round to 1x10? Really wish she explained that a bit more. I was lost at that point.
