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.
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).
There are three significant figures in the sum of 18 plus 52.1 because each number has three significant figures and adding them together maintains the precision of the original numbers.
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.
The significant figures in a measurement include all known digits plus one estimated digit. All non-zero digits are considered significant, zeros between non-zero digits are significant, and zeros at the end of a number and after a decimal point are significant.
The number of significant figures in a measurement is determined by the precision of the measuring instrument. Include all certain digits plus one uncertain digit (estimated or interpolated). Nonzero digits, zeros between nonzero digits, and trailing zeros in numbers containing a decimal point are considered significant.
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
The real answer is 33.443 but since 12 is the number with the least significant figures your answer will be 33
43.3
