The answer turns out to be 113.7363473
Since leading zeros are not significant, 0.00032 has only 2 significant figures, and becomes the number with the least amount. Since you can only have 2 sig figs in your final answer, you need to round it to 110. Trailing zeros are not significant either, unless the answer has a decimal point in it.

Plug these numbers into your calculator. The sig figs will be only two since that is the lowest number of the three.
