Textbook Question

Chapter 5, Problem 6ICA

In each of the following cases, either display a value to the requested number of significant figures or display a calculated value to the appropriate number of significant figures.

a. 12.001 feet + 2.08 feet+ 108.234 feet
b. A piece of stone has a mass of 13.782 grams and a volume of 4.64 cubic centimeters. What is the density of the stone in units of grams per cubic centimeter? Density is determined by mass divided by volume.
c. How many significant figures are there in the value 0.00470 centimeters?
d. The mass of a rock sample is measured four times, yielding values of 24.996 grams, 25.008 grams, 25.011 grams, and 25.005 grams. What is the average mass of the sample in units of grams? The average value is determined by taking the sum of all samples and dividing by the total number of samples.
