Consider this: with 145 you have also not used two zeros - 00145 = 145 - but only one was supplied, so you have not used ONLY the supplied digits.
If the zero is being supplied, then it must be used with some meaning:
The zero is not nothing when it comes somewhere between a non-zero digit and the decimal point (which for a whole number is "hiding" after the last digit); for if it were, the two numbers 105 and 15 would be equal - after all only "nothing" has been removed from the first.
Our zero has developed over history from the Babylonian place holder which was used to show an empty place value column - otherwise when written down the numbers "1 5" and "15" could be mistaken for each other.
With 145, the thousands column is empty, BUT does not need to be shown as such because the number cannot be misread; but with 105, the tens columns is effectively empty, but without anything written there 105 becomes 1 5 which could be misread as 15.
Thus to answer the question, the zero can only be used somewhere between a non-zero digit and the decimal point - for then it has some meaning. (The correct answer I leave as an exercise for the reader.)
that's why I asked
3 significant figures.The rule is that the number of digits in your answer should not exceed the lowest number of digits of all the values used to derive the answer.
Laugh it off and be like, nothing I just wanted to talk to you later. ; )
Numbers beginning 007 belong to either Kazakhstan or the Russian Federation. The three digits you asked about (960) indicate a mobile number in the Russian Federation.
i do not really know because i am the one that asked the quetion.
Anytime a question like this is asked, put the smallest digits first and go from there. Start with all of the 1's. After you have all of them put all of the 2's, and so on.
Underlining is used in questions asked about decimals, not in decimal notation.A bar across the top of a decimal number means that the number (or numbers) are repeated infinitely as the decimal equivalent of a fraction, such as 1/3 (0.3333) or 1/7 (0.142857142857142857).
Nothing. In an interview, once, that question was asked, and their simple answer was; "Nothing".
nothing he did everything that everyone asked.
It's a number of digits which you have to take in count when you have to round a number (physical value such as speed, acceleration and so on). e.g. if you have the number 0.0000067 the signifigant figures are 67; zeros don't matter, unless they are between two actual numbers like in 405000 the signifigant figures are 405
If you are looking at this from a maths perspective, the 'significant figures' are the number of digits counting from the first non-zero digit, so the number of significant figures in 10.0 is three. You may be asked a question, and told to give the answer 'to three significant figures'. This would mean the answer would look something like '12.2' or '0.0254'. This is in contrast to decimal places, which refer to the number of digits after the decimal point. For example, the number 10.0 is quoted to one decimal place.
The back of the card in the signature strip. Normally the last 3 digits are asked for.
