Question

adding sig fig!
94.00
15
182.113=
291.113... when is the decimal 3 places to the right when its not the smallest decimal placement? shouldnt it be 2 so 29. because of .00?

Answer 1

you have to express the answer in terms of the number given with the least amount of significant figures. which would be 2 sig figs (because 15).

Answer 2

but why is the decimal in the answer where it is?

Answer 3

is that answer they gave you in the back of the book?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

that's odd. The amount of sig figs in the answer should be equal to the number with least sig figs.

291.113 =\( 2.9*10^2\) should be the answer

Answer 6

thank you so much for helping btw

Answer 7

okay! thats what I said!

Answer 8

yeah, i don't see why that would be the answer. Maybe it's mistake?

Answer 9

how did you get 10 to the second?
and yeah, I think so!

Answer 10

they said in the book, the answer is 291.113. so you'd look to see if you round, in which you dont. so it would be = 291

Answer 11

maybe its bc 15 didnt have any decm place?

Answer 12

\(10^2\) implies that the decimal point is moving 2 spaces to the right. as in \(6.0*10^5=600,000\)

Answer 13

um even so, 94.00 would be the least amount of sig figs, and the answer would be 291.11

Answer 14

no sorry, 291.1 because 4 sig figs

Answer 15

OH! okay. thank you so much!!! youre the best

Answer 16
