Are numbers stated in a question considered exact numbers? Ex:You have 25g of sugar blah blah blah. Would I report my sig figs to the 25g?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25 would be 2 sig figs, yes they are usually stated in the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean after I do my calculations do I report my answer to two sig figs? @cherio12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

were any other values given to you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then yes, i believe just using 2 sig figures would be correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem
