the decimal place in the quotient or product should be based in the decimal place of the given with the least significant figures
No, the one with the least.
When multiplying/dividing measurements the answers needs to have the same amound significant figures as the one with the LEAST amount
The number of significant figures should be equal to the significant figures in the least precise measurement.
When adding or subtracting measurements, the result should have the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the fewest decimal places. When multiplying or dividing measurements, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the fewest significant figures.
5 since 1.0400 has 5 significant figures. when dividing or multiplying go with the number with the smaller significant figures.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
The percent error in the measurement of density is calculated by taking the absolute difference between the measured value and the accepted value, dividing it by the accepted value, and then multiplying by 100. The result is rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures.
When multiplying or dividing numbers with significant figures, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the factor with the fewest significant figures. Round the final answer to match this rule.
Two. When multiplying or dividing the answer is rounded to the fewest significant figures in the given measurements. 0.55 has only two significant figures, so the answer can have only two significant figures.
4.884 has four significant figures and 2.25 has three significant figures. 4.884 x 2.25 = 10.989 = 11.0 rounded to three significant figures. When multiplying or dividing, the result must have the same number of significant figures as the number in the problem with the fewest significant figures.
When multiplying or dividing numbers, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the factor with the fewest significant figures. When adding or subtracting numbers, the result should have the same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places.
