textbook 6N.1 a)

Hi. I used Eº=-0.445 for this question instead of rounding it to -0.45 like what the solution does.
The lnK I calculated was about -34.66. But the textbook used -35. Therefore my answer is 8.86*10^-16 while the answer's is 6*10^-6. This is pretty off.
How do we decide whether or not to round our answers?

The answer is actually 6 x 10^-16, so your rounding is completely fine :)!
