Question

Andi performs the calculation that is shown below.

Answer 1

Answer: 3.59

Explanation:

(2.06)(1.743)(1.00)

2.06 × 1.743 × 1.00

= 3.59058

Two of the multiplied digits are represented in 3 significant figures. Therefore, for correct representation, the result of the product should be written to three significant figures.

3.59058 to 3 significant figures:

First three digits = 3.59

Fourth digit '0' is less than 5, and thus rounded to 0 with other succeeding digits

Therefore, (2.06)(1.743)(1.00) to 3 significant figures equals :

3.59
