NOTE: To propagate uncertainty when multiplying or dividing two measurements, count the number of significant figures in each. Your result should be reported to the number of significant figures in the measurement having the lesser number of significant figures. Note that 'significant figures' are different than 'decimal places'; see rules at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Significant_figures&oldid=1114415444#Identifying_significant_figures . Rounding a number to N significant figures is similar to rounding to N digits after the decimal point, except that we start counting from the beginning of the number. For example, 71.25150 rounded to three significant figures is 71.3, to four is 71.25, and to one is 70. (If the N + 1 digit is 5 followed by nothing or by zeros only, use the 'round half to even' tiebreaking rule). --- A tape measure with a precision of +/- 0.0001 meters takes a measurement of 0.0270 meters, and an opisometer with a precision of +/- 0.0003 meters measures a distance between two different points as 0.0021 meters. Using a computer, you divide the numbers and get the output. How can we express this output to the correct level of precision? A. 12.86 B. 13 C. 12.8571 Answer:

Your result should be reported to the number of significant figures in the measurement having the lesser number of significant figures. Note that 'significant figures' are different than 'decimal places'; see rules at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Significant_figures&oldid=1114415444#Identifying_significant_figures . Rounding a number to N significant figures is similar to rounding to N digits after the decimal point, except that we start counting from the beginning of the number. For example, 71.25150 rounded to three significant figures is 71.3, to four is 71.25, and to one is 70. (If the N + 1 digit is 5 followed by nothing or by zeros only, use the 'round half to even' tiebreaking rule). --- A rangefinder with a precision of +/- 4 meters takes a measurement of 192 meters, and a hydraulic scale with a precision of +/- 3000 grams measures a mass as 16000 grams.

Your result should be reported to the number of significant figures in the measurement having the lesser number of significant figures. Note that 'significant figures' are different than 'decimal places'; see rules at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Significant_figures&oldid=1114415444#Identifying_significant_figures . Rounding a number to N significant figures is similar to rounding to N digits after the decimal point, except that we start counting from the beginning of the number. For example, 71.25150 rounded to three significant figures is 71.3, to four is 71.25, and to one is 70. (If the N + 1 digit is 5 followed by nothing or by zeros only, use the 'round half to even' tiebreaking rule). --- A storage container with a precision of +/- 0.2 liters measures a volume of 638.5 liters and a storage container with a precision of +/- 4 liters reads 9 liters when measuring a volume of a different quantity of liquid. Your calculator app gives the solution when multiplying the numbers. Using the suitable number of significant figures, what is the answer? A. 6000 liters^2 B. 5746 liters^2 C. 5746.5 liters^2 Answer:
