Multiply these numbers using significant figures: 0.05 x 3.1=

Answer 1

Thank ye.

Answer 2

Multiply them first.

Then decide on the sign. figures part... do you know how many significant figures are in 0.05 and in 3.1?

Answer 3

I thought it was two @agent0smith

Answer 4

or do we add both so it's 3

Answer 5

You use the least amount of sig digs. 3.1 has two, and 0.05 has one (leading zeros don`t count)

Answer 6

^that. You can't add sign. figs... you just use the number with the least, which is 1 sig. fig. in this case.
