4 ÷ 2 = 2
2 ÷ 4 = 1/2
As we can see, the order in which the numbers are divided yielded different results.
Answer:
The significant figure of the result is 138.8
Step-by-step explanation:
24.78*(37.3 - 31.72)
Solving the bracket first:
37.3 - 31.72 = 5.58
A zero is added to 37.3 before the substraction, so;
37.3 - 31.72 = 37.30 - 31.72 = 5.58
Following the rule of significant figure; we have the answer of the substraction as 5.6 since the least number of significant is one decimal place.
The new expression will be:
24.78 * 5.6 = 138.768
Therefore, the result of our expression 138.8 by following the rule of significant figure
Y=-14/3 or -4.66666667 repeated
