Quiz 2 – Significant Figures and Scientific Notation (Answer)

1. 328 569 = 328 600 (cor. to 4 sig. fig.) 2. 25 702 = 25 700 (cor. to 3 sig. fig.)
3. 729.384 = 730 (cor. to 2 sig. fig.) 4. 8.403 = 8.40 (cor. to 3 sig. fig.)
5. 0.803 3 = 0.803 (cor. to 3 sig. fig.) 6. 0.010 304 = 0.010 30 (cor. to 4 sig. fig.)
7. 8 634 000 = 8.634 × 10 6
8. 706 010 000 = 7.060 1 × 108
−5
9. 0.000 013 45 = 1.345 × 10 10. 0.000 140 = 1.40 × 10−4
11. 2.43 × 10 = 243 000
5
12. 7.601 × 10−3 = 0.007 601
13. (3 × 10 ) × (6.28 × 10 )
5 3
14. (4.2 × 10−3) ÷ (2.1 × 10−5)
= (3 × 6.28) × (105 × 103) = (4.2 ÷ 2.1) × (10−3 ÷ 10−5)
= 18.84 × 108 = 2 × 10-3-(-5)
= 1.884 × 109 = 2 × 102
15. 6.4 × 1010 − 2.73 × 108 16. 8 × 10−4 + 5.2 × 10−5
= 108 × (6.4× 102 − 2.73) = 10−5 × (8 × 10 + 5.2)
= 637.27 × 108 = 85.2 × 10−5
= 6.3727 × 1010 = 8.52 × 10−4

17. (a) 3 446.193 7 = 3 446 (cor. to the nearest integer)

(b) 3 446.193 7 = 3 446.194 (cor. to 3 d.p.)
(c) 3 446.193 7 = 3 446.2 (cor. to 5 sig. fig.)

18. (a) Exterior angle of a regular 11-sided polygon

360°
= (ext. ∠ of a regular polgon)
11
= 32.727 2…°
= 32.7° (cor. to 3 sig. fig.)
(b) Interior angle of a regular 11-sided polygon
= 180° − 32.727 2…° (adj. ∠s on st. line)
= 147.272 7…°
= 147° (cor. to 3 sig. fig.)

19. (a) p = 57 000 000

= 5.7 × 107
q = 2 000 000
= 2 × 106
(b) pq = (5.7 × 107) × (2 × 106)
= (5.7 × 2) × 107+6
= 11.4 × 1013
= 1.14 × 1014
(c) p + q = 5.7 × 107+ 2 × 106
= 106 × (5.7 × 10 + 2)
= 59 × 106
= 5.9 × 107
