Question at position 8
Calculate the answer to the following problem. Make certain you put your answer into the correct number of significant figures.

2.3 x 500

Answer

Answer 1

Here are the answers:

1) 6007 ÷ 59.439 = 101.0615926 (approx.)
2) 1007 ÷ 9.478 = 106.2460435 (approx.)

3) 5.13 × 9.103 = 46.69839 → with correct significant figures (3 s.f., since 5.13 has 3 s.f.) = 46.7

4) 2.3 × 500 = 1150
- If 500 is written with its usual ambiguous meaning (only one significant figure), the result must be reported with 1 s.f. → 1 × 10^3 (1000).
- (If 500 were meant to have more significant figures, indicate that explicitly—e.g. 500. would mean 3 s.f.)
