Stuck need help! The class I'm taking is physics for scientists and engineers!

Problem is attached. please view attachment before answering. 

***I need help with part D only***

Really struggling with this concept. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Please detail explain so I can fully understand how to solve.  Thank you so much.

The following times are given in seconds. Use
metric prefixes to rewrite them so the
numerical value is greater than one but less
than 1000. For example, 7.9 x 10-2s could be
written as either 7.9 cs or 79 ms. (a)
9.57 x 10 s; (b) 0.045 s; (c) 5.5 x 10-7s; (d)
3.16 x 10's.
