Question

In the lab, you took mass and volume measurements and plugged them into the density formula and calculated densities for different objects. How do you preserve the accuracy and precision of your measurements when doing calculations with the measurements?

Answer 1

You preserve the accuracy and precision of your measurements when doing calculations with the measurements by not rounding of the resulting values of the each step in the calculations. It would be recommendable to round off the value only at the final answer. Hope this helps.
