To determine the number of significant figures in the result of the subtraction (8.823 - 3.42), you look at the decimal places of the numbers involved. The number 8.823 has three decimal places, while 3.42 has two. Therefore, the answer should be rounded to the least number of decimal places, which is two. Thus, the final answer will have two decimal places, indicating that it will have three significant figures.
To determine the number of significant figures in the answer to the multiplication problem 532.1 x 101, you need to look at the number of significant figures in each of the numbers involved. The number 532.1 has four significant figures, while 101 has three significant figures. The final answer will have the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the least amount, which is three significant figures in this case.
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.
When multiplying, the number of significant numbers in the answer should be the same as the fewest significant figures in the problem. Both 13.5 and 3.00 have three significant figures, so the answer will have three significant figures. 13.5 x 3.00 = 40.5 exactly (no need to round).
The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.
