Best Answer

Take the least number of decimal places when adding or subtracting, therefore the answer is 17 to no decimal places.

If it was 14 x 3.078 the answer would be 43 to 2 significant figures. The rule for multiplication/division is to use the least number of sig figs in the components: 14 has 2 and 3.078 has 4 so the answer should use 2.

How many significant figures are in 60000?

There are 5 significant figures, the six plus the four zeroes. The zeroes are significant figures due to the inclusion of the decimal - with no decimal there would only be one significant figure (the six).


How many Significant figures are in 18 plus 52.1?

18 + 52.1 is 70.1 there are 3 sig figs


The significant figures in a measurement include?

The rules for identifying significant figures when writing or interpreting numbers are as follows: All non-zero digits are considered significant. For example, 91 has two significant figures (9 and 1), while 123.45 has five significant figures (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). Zeros appearing anywhere between two non-zero digits are significant. Example: 101.1203 has seven significant figures: 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 0 and 3. Leading zeros are not significant. For example, 0.00052 has two significant figures: 5 and 2. Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant. For example, 12.2300 has six significant figures: 1, 2, 2, 3, 0 and 0. The number 0.000122300 still has only six significant figures (the zeros before the 1 are not significant). In addition, 120.00 has five significant figures since it has three trailing zeros.


What is the answer of 23.1 plus 2.06 in significant figures?

It depends how many significant figures you are after. 23.1 + 2.06 = 25.16Significant figures is like rounding.If I were to round it to 3 sig. fig. I would have 25.2If I were to round it to 2 sig. fig. I would have 25and so on. You only keep the numbers which keep the number similar to the original yet less accurate with less digits.


How many grams of NO are required to produce 145g of N2 in the following reaction 4nh3 plus 6no 5n2 plus 6h20?

4NH3 + 6NO -> 5N2 + 6H2O 145 g N2 x (1 mol/28.0 g) x (6 mol NO/5 mol N2) x (30.0 g NO/1 mol NO) = 186.4285714 g NO rounds to 186 g NO due to significant figures
