Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, when performing mathematical operations with numbers in scientific notation, the first step is to write them in standard notation:
550 - 65.0
Thus, the result without any significant figures-based analysis is:
615.0
However, since 550 is significant to the ones and 65.0 to the tenths, we need to round the result to the bigger significance, in this case to the ones; therefore the appropriate result would be:
615
That in scientific notation would be:
Best regards!
