- Pls help ASAP. Pls give the significant figures of each of the answer.arrow_forward1. Multiplication or division: keep the same number of significant figures in the product or quotient as is in the least precise factor. Examples: 3.1 * 25.6=79.360000... = 79 6.7/981.0=0.0068297655... = 0.0068 keep only 2 significant digits 2. Powers or roots: keep the same number of significant figures as in the original number. Example: Sqrt(38) 6.164414... keep only 2 significant digits = 6.2 (11.6)² = 134.5600000... = 135 Exercises 3. Addition or subtraction: Round off, to the number of decimal places determined by the number with the least number of places beyond the decimal point. Example: 31.5+24.61 +3.28+1.19 +0.762 +0.003 = 61.345 1. 3.9 * 78.9= = 61.3 (correct result) 2. 32.01 +96.321 +36.98 +0.00023 +28.9= 3. 26.9/98 = 4. 421 0.003 =arrow_forwarda) Acceleration is described as space divided by time squared.
