to determine sig figs you eed to know how many sig figs are in the calclation.
in adding and subtracting you answers are to the sig fig with the lowest dec point place.
and in multiplication and dividing sig figs of answers determined by the number with the least sig figs in the calculation
ex.
5.2 ( 2 sf) + 5.324 (4 sf) = 10.5 ( because 5.2 has the largest decimal place)
5.2 X 5.324 = 28 ( because 5.3 only has 2 sf so the answer ca only have 2sf)
The number of significant figures should be equal to the significant figures in the least precise measurement.
When multiplying numbers, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the original number with the fewest significant figures. In this case, 400 has one significant figure, and 185 has three significant figures. Therefore, the result of multiplying 400 by 185 will have one significant figure. The answer would be 70,000.
The product is 67.30879 which means it has 7 significant figures
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
20.6 is the result.
32.2
When multiplying numbers, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the fewest significant figures.
The appropriate number of significant figures to use in expressing the result of 51.6 x 3.1416 is three. This is because the factors each have three significant figures, so the result should also have three significant figures. The answer would be 162.
When adding or multiplying numbers, the result should have the same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places. For addition, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the fewest significant figures. For multiplication, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the fewest significant figures.
The number of significant figures should be equal to the significant figures in the least precise measurement.
the measured quantity with the least number of significant figures. For example, if you multiply a quantity with 3 significant figures by a quantity with 2 significant figures, your result should have 2 significant figures.
The result is 457,50 - with two significant figures.
When multiplying numbers with significant figures, count the total number of significant figures in each number being multiplied. The result should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the fewest significant figures. Round the final answer to that number of significant figures.
When multiplying numbers, count the number of significant figures in each number being multiplied. The result should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the fewest 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 numbers, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the original number with the fewest significant figures. In this case, 400 has one significant figure, and 185 has three significant figures. Therefore, the result of multiplying 400 by 185 will have one significant figure. The answer would be 70,000.
When adding numbers with significant figures, the result should be rounded to the least number of decimal places in the original numbers. Add the numbers as usual, then round the result to the appropriate number of significant figures.
