Perform the following conversions. Report your answer to the correct number of significant figures. Use the "E" format to enter a number in scientific notation (ex: 6.022 × 1023 = 6.02223)

﻿﻿﻿145 cm₴ = Blank 1 m2

﻿﻿﻿0.263 m? = Blank 2 mm3

To solve these conversions, we'll use the appropriate conversion factors and pay attention to the significant figures.

### 1. Convert 145 cm² to m²

**Conversion factor**:  
1 m² = 10,000 cm² (since 1 m = 100 cm, then 1 m² = (100 cm)² = 10,000 cm²).

**Calculation**:
\[
145 \, \text{cm}^2 \times \left(\frac{1 \, \text{m}^2}{10,000 \, \text{cm}^2}\right) = \frac{145}{10,000} \, \text{m}^2 = 0.0145 \, \text{m}^2
\]

**Significant Figures**:
145 cm² has 3 significant figures, so the answer should be reported with 3 significant figures.

\[
\text{Blank 1} = 1.45 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m}^2 \, \text{(scientific notation)} \, \text{or} \, 0.0145 \, \text{m}^2 \, \text{(standard notation)}
\]

### 2. Convert 0.263 m³ to mm³

**Conversion factor**:  
1 m³ = 10^9 mm³ (since 1 m = 1,000 mm, then 1 m³ = (1,000 mm)³ = 10^9 mm³).

**Calculation**:
\[
0.263 \, \text{m}^3 \times \left(10^9 \, \text{mm}^3\right) = 0.263 \times 10^9 \, \text{mm}^3 = 2.63 \times 10^8 \, \text{mm}^3
\]

**Significant Figures**:
0.263 m³ has 3 significant figures, so the answer should be reported with 3 significant figures.

\[
\text{Blank 2} = 2.63 \times 10^8 \, \text{mm}^3
\]

### Final Answers:

- **Blank 1** = \(1.45 \times 10^{-2}\) m²
- **Blank 2** = \(2.63 \times 10^8\) mm³
