The two significant digits are 8 and 5. Leading 0s are place holders and are not significant.
Because density expressed in two significant figures depends on your accuracy of your measurements of mass and volume to calculate as well as any variables that you are expected to use.
460. (the period/decimal point is necessary; otherwise 460 would be considered two significant figures)
There are two significant figures. In scientific notation 0.032 = 3.2 x 10^-2 → it has 2 sig fig.
There are more significant digits in this number than four. The leading zero before the decimal point is not deemed insignificant nor are any of the numbers proceeding it.In 1600.00 the proceeding two zeros after 1600 are insignificant. However, 1600.001, all numbers are significant.
Using the division method to find the square root to 2 digits and then rounding to 1 sig fig: ______1__4 ____-------- _1_|_1_98 _____1 _____-- 24 |___98 ________96 ________--- _________2 → to 1 sig fig √198 = 10
It is not always expressed in 2 sig figs. The number of sig figs depends on the accuracy of your measurements of mass and volume to calculate the density as well as any variables that you are expected to use the density with. There is no point in having a density expressed to 15 significant figures if then you are going to multiply it by volume expressed to 1 sig fig to determine the mass.
4647 is 4600 to 2 sig fig.
71372 to 2 sig fig is 71000
yes 100 has only one sig fig
Because density expressed in two significant figures depends on your accuracy of your measurements of mass and volume to calculate as well as any variables that you are expected to use.
The first two sig fig are 4.4; the third is '4' which is less than 5, so don't round up: 4.449 → 4.4 to 2 sig fig.
2nd sig fig is 5, next digit (3rd sig fig) is 2 which is less than 5, so round down; ⇒ 1.5255698 = 1.5 to 2 sig fig.
Four. When the decimal point is expressed, trailing zeros are significant.
It is: 62 kg
The significant figure (sig fig) of every number is the first number in it that isn't naught. The first number in 23.00 is 20. Each number after the first sig fig is also counted as a sig fig, not depending on weather or not it is a naught.
460. (the period/decimal point is necessary; otherwise 460 would be considered two significant figures)
To one sig fig, 300 To two sig figs, 310 To three sig figs, 314
