Solution
-
The number of significant figures in each number are as follows: a. 0.0023 - 2 significant figures b. 10,025 - 5 significant figures c. 734,000 - 3 significant figures (zeros at the end of a number without a decimal point are not significant) d. 0.08900 - 4 significant figures (zeros at the end of a number with a decimal point are significant) e. 10,205.06 - 7 significant figures f. 10,500 - 3 significant figures (zeros at the end of a number without a decimal point are not significant)
-
The calculations with the correct number of significant figures are: a. 1.2 + 2.35 = 3.6 (the least number of decimal places in the numbers being added is 1) b. 2.123 - 1.8 = 0.3 (the least number of decimal places in the numbers being subtracted is 1) c. 1.8 x 1.2 = 2.2 (the least number of significant figures in the numbers being multiplied is 2) d. 9.33 ÷ 2.1 = 4.4 (the least number of significant figures in the numbers being divided is 2)
-
The answers to the situations are: a. You need to measure the length and width of the sketch pads. A ruler or measuring tape can be used to obtain these measurements. You would use the tool to measure the length and width of each sketch pad. b. Aris needs to measure the volume of Hydrochloric Acid. A graduated cylinder or pipette can be used to measure this. He would use the tool to carefully measure out 5 mL of the acid. c. Michael and Ryan need to measure the time it takes for each of them to swim a certain distance. A stopwatch can be used to measure this. You would use the stopwatch to time each swimmer as they complete the task.
