the decimal place in the quotient or product should be based in the decimal place of the given with the least significant figures
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 number of significant figures should be equal to the significant figures in the least precise measurement.
5 since 1.0400 has 5 significant figures. when dividing or multiplying go with the number with the smaller significant figures.
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.
Two. When multiplying or dividing the answer is rounded to the fewest significant figures in the given measurements. 0.55 has only two significant figures, so the answer can have only two 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.
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 number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
