28
``` How many significant figures? 5.00 x 10^3 16.00 0.0040 4 x10 ^2 ```
5.00 x 10^3 : 3 16.00 : 4 0.0040 : 2 4 x 10 ^2 : 1
29
What are exact numbers?
Numbers obtained by counting items, are not measured
30
When do you drop numbers when rounding significant figures?
if the first digit to be dropped is 4 or less then all the following digits are simply dropped.
31
When do you round up significant figures?
If the first digit to be dropped is 5 or greater then the last retained number is increased by 1.
32
Round these to 3 and 2 significant figures: 14.780 3262
14. 780: - 3SF: 14.8 - 2SF: 15 3263: - 3SF: 3.26x10^3 - 2SF: 3.3.x 10^3
33
What is/are the rule(s) for rounding off significant figures in multiplication and division?
The final answer is written so it has the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the fewest significant figures.
34
What is/are the rule(s) for rounding off significant figures for addition/subtraction
the final answer has the same number of decimals as the measurement with the fewest decimals
