$3.6*10^8$

The number has to be changed to contain 1 significant figure.
Count the number of zeros and put it in terms of 10^_.

Eg: $100=10^2$ , $10000000000=10^10$

$360000000=36*10^7$

This is in 2 significant figures.
Change this to 1 significant figure, and multiply another power of 10.

$3.6*10^8$
