You get 493.41 when
you subtract 15.54 from 508.953 using the rules for significant figures.
For addition
and subtraction, look at the decimal portion (i.e., to the right of the decimal
point) of the numbers ONLY. Here is what to do:
1) Count the
number of significant figures in the decimal portion of each number in the
problem. (The digits to the left of the decimal place are not used to determine
the number of decimal places in the final answer.)
2) Add or
subtract in the normal fashion.
3) Round the
answer to the LEAST number of places in the decimal portion of any number in
the problem.
The correct answer between all the choices given is the
third choice or letter C. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query
and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel
free to ask another question.
Since our earlobes repeatedly bounce from our inner ear twords the eardrums, this is compeltely true.
A) GPS monitoring of plate speeds and movements.
Explanation:
The most recent evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics would be GPS monitoring of plate speeds and movements.
A GPS is a Global Positioning System made up of series of components.
- Plate tectonics theory is the movement of the earth's lithosphere relative to one another.
- The recent advances uses a GPS system to monitor real-time movement of the plates.
- The GPS system is made up of a system of satellite in space that communicates real-times locations to sensors on the earth surface.
- From the sensors, observatory stations can know and duly observe how plates are moving.

There are 3 significant figures, if that answers the question.
