ANSWER:Step 1 of 5
Here we have to calculate the correct number of significant figures.
There are specific rules to track the significant figures from the calculated values. These are:
(a) For addition and subtraction, the result should contain the same number of decimal places, as the measurement is carried out with the fewest decimal places.
(b) The result should contain the same number of decimal places for multiplication and division, as the measurement is carried out with the fewest significant figures.
