The final answer.is only as accurate as the least accurate component in the calculation, so use the significant figures of the measurement with the fewest.
The least precise measurement.
4 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.
28.71
Yes and no, depending on how precise you want to be. 8.80 has THREE significant figures, meaning it was measured to the hundredth place. 8.8 has TWO significant figures, meaning it was measured only to the tenth place.
4 significant figures.
The number of significant figures should be equal to the significant figures in the least precise measurement.
All three of them are significant figures
significant figures.
The accuracy of the answer is limited to the LEAST significant figures of the input. So if two measured quantities are multiplied or divided, one of which is accurate to only two significant figures, and other to six significant figures, the answer is only accurate to two significant figures. HOWEVER: use all the figures you have for the calculation, and then round your answer to two significant figures. Also, however, remember that if you are multiplying by an actual exact number, as in doubling, the significant figures of that 2 is unlimited, so the answer is only limited by the significant figures of the number you are doubling.
5 since 1.0400 has 5 significant figures. when dividing or multiplying go with the number with the smaller significant figures.
It depends on the number of significant figures from two numbers you are multiplying. But when multiplying you use the same number of significant figures from the numbers you are multiplying with the LEAST number of significant figures. Example: 92,873.239 * 2 = 200,000 (because the number 2 has only 1 significant figure even tho 92,873.239 has 8 significant figures your answer still only has 1 significant figure)
4 significant figures.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
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 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.
