When you are doing addition and subtraction, my chemistry text tells me to round to the least number of decimal places. It also tells me when rounding to use the rule that if its 5 or more, to round up.
I have a problem that tells me to solve 0.881+132.1-12.02. The full answer I get is 120.961.
Since I need at least one decimal place, should I keep it as 120.9 or round up to 121.0?

- (The ? stands for a number the student is going to calculate.) Fill in the missing part of this equation. Note: your answer should be in the form of one or more fractions multiplied together.arrow_forwardWhat is the error in the answer to the following? a) (22.10 ± 0.01) + (37.51 ± 0.02) = b) (30.88 ± 0.03) - (31.57 ± 0.06) = c) (5.88 ± 0.05) × (2.17 ± 0.01) =arrow_forwardBernard weighs a jar of pennies to find out how much they are worth. After subtracting the weight of the empty jar, he finds that the pennies have a total mass of 12.33 +/- 0.09 kg. Assuming that each penny weights 2.5 g, and taking into account the uncertainty of the measurement, what is the minimum value of the pennies (expressed in dollars)?arrow_forward
- Using the data below (included for context), what is the equation for the trendline for the data points that fall in the linear range (linear range was found to be timepoints 1 min to 4 min,)? Your answer should be in the form of y = mx + b. Make sure that your trendline only includes the data points that fall in the linear range. In order to determine the trendline using Excel, you may need to create a new graph that only includes the earlier data points. With your new trendline, what is the initial velocity when 1 nM OXA-M290 is mixed with 60 μM nitrocefin? Make sure to include units in your answer. Context: DO NOT ANSWER Concentration of hydrolyzed nitrocefin at 20 time points.

- Which of the following are CORRECT regarding significant figures? In your answer, please list the numbers designating statements that are CORRECT. 1) when multiplying or dividing numbers, the result only has as many significant figures as the factor with the fewest significant figures- the purpose of significant figures is to indicate accuracy of a measured quantity 2) when adding or subtracting numbers, the result only has as many significant figures as the factor with the fewest significant figures 3) when adding or subtracting numbers, the result only has as many decimal places as that of the factor with the fewest decimal places 4) the purpose of significant figures is to indicate the precision of a measured quantity 5) countable quantities impact the number of significant figures in a calculation 6) when multiplying or dividing numbers, the result only has as many decimal places as that of the factor with the fewest decimal placesarrow_forwardMake the following calculation and report your answer to the correct number of significant figures running to the result, if necessary.
