- 3. Solve the following problems, stating answers to the proper number of significant figures: (a) 12.62 + 1.5 + 0.25 = (b) (2.25 x 10³) (4.80 x 104) = (c) 10.4 + 3.75 (1.5 x 104) =arrow_forwardConsider the following mathematical expression: (2.4 × 10³) (2.24 × (2.54)³) 0.7217 x = X The answer X should be expressed as significant figures.arrow_forwardQuestion 1: Determine whether the answer to each calculation has the correct number of significant figures. If not, correct it: 1A) 89.763 + 22.4581 = 3.997 1B) 4.32x1012 ÷ 3.1x104 = 1.4x1016 Question 2: Perform this calculation to the correct number of significant figures 9443 + 45 – 9.9 x 8.1x106 Question 3: Perform the following conversions: 3A) 78.3 cm to inches 3B) 22.5 lbs. to micrograms 3C) 396 in to L 4A) A new penny has a mass of 2.49g and a volume of 0.349cm³. Is the penny pure copper?arrow_forward
- 3- Perform the following calculation and report the result to the correct number of significant figures: [29.3 – 23.1] / 5.201] = (6.2) / (5.201) = а) 1.2 b) 1.19 c) 1.1921 d) 1.192 e) 1arrow_forwardHow many significant figures would this calculation have if it were completed: (9.04 - 8.23 + 21.954 + 81.0) × 3.1416arrow_forwardI 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?arrow_forward
