Is it just a maths problem? Also what kind of grade is this? Have you worked this number out? If so... it may well depend on the sigfig of the numbers used.

Answer 5

There is no "correct number of sigfig" however you can work out the accuracy of your results if you have a precision on the instruments used.

its chemistry 11th grade i multiplied 4.29 x 3.24 and got 13.8996 as my unrounded answer then it asks me to ANSWER ROUNDED TO THE CORRECT NUMBER OF SIG FIGS

Answer 7

3sigfig as both of your first 2 measurements are 3 sigfig
