Question

You are given a series of mathematical operations to perform and make a table including the calculated value as displayed on your calculator: Mathematical operation Value displayed by calculator 1.083g+4.151g+1.04g+4.3g 10.5740 g 1.083g1.04g 1.12632 g2 4.151g1.04g 3.11100 g 4.151g/31.0341 0.133756 g 4.3g/31.0341 0.138557 g Sort the values displayed by the calculator according to the number of significant figures they should contain after you conduct the appropriate rounding of the values. Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins.

Explanation / Answer

1) 1.083g+4.151g+1.04g+4.3g = 10.5740 g

answer : 1.083g+4.151g+1.04g+4.3g = 10.6 g

explanation: In addition and subtraction, the answer cannot have more digits to the right of the decimal point than either of the original numbers

here least sig fig 4.3 so after decimal point we have to put only one digit

2) 1.083g1.04g = 1.12632 g

answer : 1.083g1.04g = 1.13

explanation: In multiplication and division, the number of significant figures in the final product or quotient is determined by the original number that has the smallest number of significant figures.

so here least sigfigs 1.04 has 3 . so the answer should be in 3 sigfigs

3) answer : 4.151g1.04g = 3.11g

4) answer : 4.151g / 31.0341 = 0.1338 g

5) answer : 4.3g / 31.0341 = 0.14 g
