I am having trouble with a chemistry homework problem.  The question
is, how many moles are represented in 100 molocules (exactly) of H2O? 
The answer I got is 2e-22, but this answer is wrong.  Please explain
to me (i) the step by step process to get the right answer, (ii) what
you think I might have done wrong, and (iii) what the right answer is.

Thank you in advance for your help.  It is very much appreciated.

1 mole of anything is 6.022 x 10^23
1 molecule is 1/6.022 x 10^23 mol
100 molecules is 100/6.022x10^23 mol
This equals 1.66 x 10^-22 mol

You may well have used the correct method, and obtained the correct
answer, but expressed it only to one significant figure.
