Question

Solve for x: LaTeX: \frac{1}{x}=\:66.54. Report your answer to 4 significant figures.

Answer 1

x = 0.01503 = 1.503 × 10⁻² , four significant figures

Step-by-step explanation:

Significant figures refer to the digits of a number that have meaning and contribute to the precision of the given number.

Since the given equation is:

`(1)/(x)=\:66.54`

Cross-multiplying to solve for the value of x:

`x * 66.54 = 1`

⇒
`x = (1)/(66.54)`

⇒ x = 0.01503 = 1.503 × 10⁻² , has four significant figures.
