Question

perform the calculation and record the answer with the correct number of significant figures.
\\(\frac{(6.5 - 6.28)}{4.53}\\) =

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate numerator first

$6.5 - 6.28 = 0.22$

Step2: Divide by denominator

$\frac{0.22}{4.53} \approx 0.048565$

Step3: Convert to scientific notation

$0.048565 = 4.9 \times 10^{-2}$ (rounded to 2 significant figures, matching the least precise measurement in the calculation)

Answer:

$4.9 \times 10^{-2}$
