Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Calculations have to be carried out for
Concept Introduction:
Significant figures: The digits that are measured in a number including one estimated digit are called as significant figures.
The answers for those calculations that involve multiplication and division will have the same number of significant figures as the original number with the fewest number of significant figures.
(b)
Interpretation:
Calculations have to be carried out for
Concept Introduction:
Significant figures: The digits that are measured in a number including one estimated digit are called as significant figures.
The answers for those calculations that involve addition and subtraction will have the same number of decimal places as the original number with the fewest decimal places.
(c)
