Question

How many significant figures are needed in the answer when 1.31m is multiplied by 6.5 m​

Answer 1

Answer:

two

Explanation:

The number of significant figures needed in the answer is 2.

This is because when finding the products of two numbers, the result is as accurate as the least number of significant figures of the numbers being multiplied.

Here the numbers being multiplied are;

 1.31m

 6.5m

        1.31m has 3 significant figures

          6.5m has 2 significant figures.

So, the product will have 2 significant figures
