Question

Andi performs the calculation that is shown below.

(2.06)(1.743)(1.00)
How should the answer be reported using the correct number of significant figures?

A.) 3.59
B.) 3.591
C.) 3.6
D.) 4

Answer 1

3.59 is the answer

Answer 2

Answer: -

A) 3.59

Explanation: -

The number of significant figures in 2.06 = 3

The number of significant figures in 1.743 = 4

The number of significant figures in 1.00 = 3

During multiplication of significant figures, the number of significant figures in the answer would be the smallest value that is 3 in this case.

2.06 x 1.743 x 1.00 = 3.5908.

The answer to 3 significant figures is

2.06 x 1.743 x 1.00 = 3.59

Thus, Andi when performs the calculation that is shown below.

(2.06)(1.743)(1.00) the answer be reported using the correct number of significant figures as A) 3.59
