    Set up a unit conversion problem, arrange units to convert minutes to seconds, then cancel all time units.

    8.3 minutes x (60 seconds/1 minute) x (3.00x10^8 meters/1 second) = 149,400,000,000 meters

    Since the time is the term with the fewest number of significant figures (2), your answer should only be expressed with two sig figs as well.

    1.5x10^11 m
