Compute 4.659×104−2.14×104. Round the answer appropriately

Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as a solid, liquid, or gas. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. Liquids are not packed as tightly as solids. And gases are very loosely packed. The spacing of the molecules enables sound to travel much faster through a solid than a gas. Sound travels about four times faster and farther in water than it does in air. This is why whales can communicate over huge distances in the oceans. Sound waves travel about thirteen times faster in wood than air. They also travel faster on hotter days as the molecules bump into each other more often than when it is cold.

Answer:

1) 1.202 L , 2) 1.291 dg , 3) 204.877 and 4) 1.04x $10^{3\\}$

Explanation:

You need to review about conversion factors and how to use them in the correct order. You can cancel the units and get the ones that you need if you use the appropriate conversion factors, remember is a number that you can use to multiply or divide.

For your exercise:

1) The conversion factor is: 1 L = 1000 mL

You will need to divide by 1000 mL to obtain liters L

1202.57120 mL x $\frac{1 L}{1000 mL}$ = 1.202 L

2) The conversion factor is: 1 g = 10 dg

0.1290743 g x $\frac{10 dg}{ 1 g}$ = 1.291 dg

For the next exercises, you need to follow some rules:

1. All numbers that are different from Zero (non-zero digits) are significant figures.

2.The Zeros between non-zeros digits (Imbedded zeros) always are significant, 2007.

3. If you want to be specific and want some zeros to be significant you need to add a decimal point. For example 500. or 500.0

4. Leading zeros (to the left) are not significant.

5. Trailing zeros (zeros to the right) in a whole number without decimal point are not significant.

3) 843.062 - 638.1848 = 204.8772

Now if we round to 6 significant figures we get 204.877

4)123.0 x 8.43 = 1036.89

Now we round to 3 significant figures because 8.43 has the least significant figures.

1.04x $10^{3}$
