Perform the indicated mathematical operations. State the uncertainty of the final answer as + 1-digit variation in the least significant digit. (remember that the last significant digit's place holder is the most uncertain digit!) 7.700 × 2.1 = uncertainty: 2.132 + 17 + 4.04 = uncertainty: 27000 + 500 = uncertainty: 30.0 x 50.0 = uncertainty: (9.6 × 107)(1.24 × 103) 1.897 × 102 uncertainty:

Question

I don't understand the wording. The least significant digit means the last digit? 

7.700 X 2.1 = 16.17     would the uncertainty be  0.01 ?

2.132 + 17 + 4.04 = 23.172   would the uncertainty be 0.001 ?

### Mathematical Operations and Uncertainty

#### Instructions:
Perform the indicated mathematical operations. State the uncertainty of the final answer as ± 1-digit variation in the least significant digit. (Remember that the last significant digit’s placeholder is the most uncertain digit!)

1. **Calculation**: \( 7.700 \times 2.1 \)
   - **Result**: ______________
   - **Uncertainty**: ___________

2. **Calculation**: \( 2.132 + 17 + 4.04 \)
   - **Result**: ______________
   - **Uncertainty**: ___________

3. **Calculation**: \( 27000 + 500 \)
   - **Result**: ______________
   - **Uncertainty**: ___________

4. **Calculation**: \( 30.0 \times 50.0 \)
   - **Result**: ______________
   - **Uncertainty**: ___________

5. **Calculation**:
   \[
   \frac{(9.6 \times 10^{-7})(1.24 \times 10^{-3})}{1.897 \times 10^{-2}}
   \]
   - **Result**: ______________
   - **Uncertainty**: ___________
