1. For multiplication and division), we first compare the number of significant figure (let's call it SF later in the problem) that the factors have. The product will have the least numbers between them. So, for the case of 11.55 x 2.5, 11.55 has 4 SF while 2.5 has 2. So we choose the smallest which is 2 for this case. Hence, the answer is B. 2. Using the same rules as mentioned in Item 1, we first compare the number of SF in the numbers give. 975.0321 has 7 SF while 0.0003 has 1 (all zeroes not following a counting number are not significant). We now solve for the quotient and round it off to 1 SF. (975.0321/0.0003) = 3250107. Rounding it off, we have 3000000 or 3 x 10⁶. Thus, the answer is D. 3. The rules for multiplication still apply even for more than two factors. So, let's first take note of the SF present in each factor as shown below. 0.00147 = 3 SF 8.314 = 4 SF 7.100 = 4 SF (zeroes after a counting number in the decimal place are considered significant) From this, we can see that the product must round off to 3 SF. Multiplying the three numbers, we have 0.00147 x 8.314 x 7.100 = 0.086773218 So, the product rounded off to 3 SF is 0.0868 or 8.68 x 10⁻². So, the answer must be C<span>. </span>

A rectangular aquarium 3 ft. x 2 ft. 1 ft. is 2/3 full of water. In cubic feet, how much water is in the tank
tatuchka [14]

To find the volume of a rectangular prism, we must multiply the length * width * height.


In this case,


Volume = 3 ft * 2 ft * 1 ft

= 6 ft^3


Because this tank is 2/3 full with water, to find out how much water is in the tank, we must multiply 2/3 by the total volume of the tank (6 ft^3).


2/3 * 6 ft^3 = 4 ft^3


This means that there are 4 cubic feet of water in the tank.


Hope this helps!

Gina wants to ship 3 books that weigh 2 7/16 pounds, 1 7/8 pounds and 1/2 pound. the maximum weight she can ship is 6 pounds. ho
pshichka [43]
You have to find a common denominator 1st then add. So 16 is the common denominator the problem should be 2 7/16+1 14/16+8-16= 3 29/16 then you need to divide 29/16 you will have 4 13/16
