Question

Multiply 5.036×102m by 0.078×10−1, taking into account significant figures.

Answer 1

Answer : The significant digit is 6

Explanation :

Multiply $5.036\times10^{2}m$ by $0.078\times10^{-1}m$

Now, on multiplying

$5.036\times10^{2}m \times0.078\times10^{-1}m = 0.392808 \times10^{1}\ m^{2}$

$5.036\times10^{2}m \times0.078\times10^{-1}m = 0.0392808\ m^{2}$

Now, the significant digit is 6.

Hence, this is the required solution.
