Question

If two measurements have the same number of decimal

places and the same number of significant digits, is it ever possible for the
result of an operation performed using these measurements to have a different
number of decimal places or significant digits than the original measurements?
Explain.

Answer 1

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, it is possible. For example, 0.2 and 0.2 both have one decimal place and one significant digit. Their product, 0.04, has one significant digit, but has 2 decimal places.
