Question

carry out each calculation and give the answers using the proper number of significant figures. part 1 of 2 10.00 × 2.0 = 20.00 part 2 of 2 (0.808)/(23339) = try again

Explanation:

Step1: Determine significant figures

0.808 has 3 significant figures, 23339 has 5 significant figures. For division, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the least precise measurement (3 here).

Step2: Perform the division

Calculate $\frac{0.808}{23339} \approx 3.462\times10^{-5}$

Step3: Round to 3 significant figures

$3.46\times10^{-5}$ (or 0.0000346)

Answer:

$3.46\times10^{-5}$ (or 0.0000346)
