Question
### Measurement Operations

**Task:** Add or subtract the following measurements. Be sure each answer you enter contains the correct number of significant digits.

#### Problems:

1. **Addition:**
   \[
   14.820 \, \text{mL} + 3.97 \, \text{mL} = \quad \underline{\quad} \quad \text{mL}
   \]

2. **Subtraction:**
   \[
   9.77 \, \text{mL} - 6.9 \, \text{mL} = \quad \underline{\quad} \quad \text{mL}
   \]

3. **Addition:**
   \[
   2.70 \, \text{mL} + 6.800 \, \text{mL} = \quad \underline{\quad} \quad \text{mL}
   \]

#### Visual Aids:

Next to the problems, there is a control panel with the following elements:
- A square checkbox and a square checkbox labeled \(\times 10\).
- A grey bar with a large "X" symbol and a circular arrow, which likely represents cancel/reset options.

Be sure to apply the correct rules of significant figures for each operation.

### Notes on Significant Figures:
- **Addition/Subtraction:** The result should have the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the least number of decimal places.

#### Examples:
- For 14.820 mL + 3.97 mL, the result should be rounded to the hundredths place (two decimal places).
- For 9.77 mL - 6.9 mL, the result should be rounded to the tenths place (one decimal place).
- For 2.70 mL + 6.800 mL, the result should be rounded to the hundredths place (two decimal places).
