Question

A measurement of 9.15 is divided by another measurement of 16.23. What is the correct answer, taking into account appropriate significant digits?

Answer 1

`0.564`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by performing the given division we obtain:

`(9.15)/(16.23)=0.563770795`

Nevertheless since 9.15 has three significant figures and 16.23 four, we must show the result with three significant figures taking into account that it must be shown with the least significant figures from the initial data:

`0.564`
