2. Do the following calculations and use the correct number of significant figures in your answers. Assume all numbers are the results of measurements.
a. 0.208 + 4.9 + 1.11
b. 228 + 0.999 + 1.02
c. 8.543 − 7.954
d.(3.2 × 10−2) + (5.5 × 10−1) (hint: Write in the decimal form first, then add.)
e. 336.86 − 309.11
f. 21.66 − 0.02387
I think I did a calculation wrong but I am having trouble understanding significant figures.
In this problem, I am calculation the density of water from my previous calculations mass= 7.359g and volume=7.8mL. So I then divided 7.359g by 7.8mL to find density and got (.9434615385) on my calculator which I then turned into (.94) because I believe there should be 2 significant figures. Is (.94) correct or should 1.4 be the final answer?
part A: Sort the following numbers according to whether they should be rounded up or down when rounding to the nearest tenth (the first digit after the decimal).
3.1760, 4.319, 19.47, 5.82, 66.9214, 8878.2010, 7.084, 124.76
part B: Drag the answers that have been correctly rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures to their place in the table. To avoid rounding errors, start with the unrounded value before conducting each manipulation.
Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets.

- For these questions, be sure to apply the rules for significant figures. a You are conducting an experiment where you need the volume of a box; you take the length, height, and width measurements and then multiply the values together to find the volume. You report the volume of the box as 0.310 m1. If two of your measurements were 0.7120 m and 0.52145 m, what was the other measurement? b If you were to add the two measurements from the first part of the problem to a third length measurement with the reported result of 1.509 m, what was the value of the third measurement?arrow_forwardThe label on a bale of mulch indicates a volume of 1.45 ft3.
