When reporting a measurement of 15 grams, it has two significant figures, as both digits (1 and 5) are non-zero and contribute to its precision. Since the number is presented without any decimal point, it implies that the measurement is exact to the nearest whole gram. Therefore, you should report the weight of the object as having two significant figures.
which is the correct product of the significant figures 3.278 and 4.23.
To compare the weights of the two objects, we need to convert both measurements to the same unit. Since 1 pound is equivalent to 16 ounces, the object weighing 4 pounds is equivalent to 64 ounces (4 pounds x 16 ounces/pound = 64 ounces). Therefore, the object weighing 4 pounds (64 ounces) is heavier than the object weighing 67 ounces.
False
The device used for comparing the mass of an object to a known mass is a double pan balance, or a balance scale. This is a type of weighing scale where you put weights on one pan and the substance you are weighing on the other.

which is the correct product of the significant figures 3.278 and 4.23.
5 To the tenth of a milligram = 5.0000 g
Obtain an appropriate weighing device. Make sure the device is calibrated properly. Perform the weighing by placing the object on top of the weighing device.
7 pounds
0.050200 mg has 5 significant figures. The zeros before the 5 are considered significant when they come after a decimal point.
The weight is the mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity. When weighing an object by a balance the acceleration of gravity is on both sides of weighing and hence canceling its effect and hence you get the object mass (not the weight)..

False
A balance is used by weighing and object by another.
