Why do you use significant digits when dealing with measurements?
Measurements need to be specific so we use significant digits.
Which measurements has two significant digits?
Any measurement may have two significant digits.
What is 310 times 20 in significant digits?
When using significant digits, the product has only the number of significant digits as the lowest number in the factors. "20" has two significant digits and "310" has three. Therefore, the product has to have two significant digits. 310 × 20 = 6200 6200 already has two significant digits.
How many significant digits go in a calculated answer?
Out of all the measurements used in the calculation, find the one with the least number of significant digits. This will be the limiting factor of how many significant digits the answer should have.
How does the precision of a calculated answer compare to the precision of the measurements use to obtain it?
the precision of the answer must have the same number of significant digits as the measurement with the least significant digits- the site explains the rules and how to identify significant digits
