Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following operations will yield a result with the least number of significant figures?
  • Step 1: Identify the numbers involved in the operation. In this case, we have 3.00 and 4.0.
  • Step 2: Count the significant figures in each number. 3.00 has three significant figures, and 4.0 has two significant figures.
  • Step 3: Determine which number has the least significant figures. Here, 4.0 has the least with two significant figures.
  • Step 4: When multiplying numbers, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the least significant figures.
  • Step 5: Therefore, the result of the operation 3.00 x 4.0 will have two significant figures.
