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?
The density of a metal sheet is given to be 8.75 g/cm^ 3 rectangular piece of this metal sheet has a mass of 3.58 g and is 6.98 cm long and 4.53 cm wide, what is the thickness of the piece of metal? it may help to draw a picture. Make sure to include the correct unit in your final answer .
A piece of cardboard is 12.0 cm long and 6.3 cm wide. What is the area of this piece of cardboard in square millimeters? Enter your answer in the space provided WITHOUT units. Make sure to round your answer to the correct number of significant figures.
Please give the number as a normal number, do not use scientific notation.
(In example: a normal number = 4300 instead of the number being in scientific notation as = 4.3 X 103)
