Add the following and answer with the correct number of significant figures: 3.01 + 2.32+ 5.1 = ____________.
-
10.4 (3 significant figures)
-
10.43 (4 significant figures)
-
10. (2 significant figures)
-
10.43 (1 significant figures)
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The sum of the numbers is:
3.01 + 2.32 + 5.1 = 10.43
When adding these numbers, you should retain the same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places, which, in this case, is "5.1." Therefore, the answer should be rounded to one decimal place:
10.43 (rounded to one decimal place)
