Question

Calculate the following to the correct number of significant figures 0.0041 cm x 2.00 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

4.1 cm³

Explanation:

When multiplying, the product must have the same number of significant figures as the factor with the least number of significant figures.  0.0041 has two significant figures, 2.00 has three significant figures, and 501 has three significant figures.  The answer will have 2 significant figures.

0.0041 cm  ×  2.00 cm  ×  501 cm  

=  4.1082 cm³

≈  4.1 cm³
