Answer:

486 of cell membranes

Step-by-step explanation:

one cell membrane has 7*10^-9m as the height

So, by dividing 3.4 with 7*10^-9 you will get the number of cell require to form the height.

3.4/(7*10^-9)=485.71

because we can't have decimal number of cell we would round it into three significant figures, 486.
