Question

perform the calculation and record the answer with the correct number of si\\(\frac{(6.5 - 6.28)}{4.53} = 0.049\\) incorrect answer\\(\\)\\(\\)sorry, thats incorrect.\\(\\)although you have correctly performed the calculation, you have not reported your answer with too many significant figures.\\(\\)to avoid rounding errors, perform the arithmetic operations and retain all digits until the very end.\\(\\)use this list of rules for significant figures following subtraction and division to determine the correct number of significant figures after each step.\\(\\)first, determine the number of significant figures that result from the subtraction. for subtraction, the number of digits after the decimal point of the difference cannot be greater than that of the measurement with the fewest digits after its decimal point.\\(\\)in the numerator, the number 6.5 has one digit after the decimal point and the number 6.28 has two digits after the decimal point.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate numerator first

$6.5 - 6.28 = 0.22$

Step2: Perform division operation

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

Step3: Round to correct sig figs

Round to 2 significant figures

Answer:

0.049
