2 4. 26 mL 6 9. 580023 ft 3 14. 5870 N
6 5. 28.0566 g/cm 3 3 10. 3.70 kg 6 15. 568.700 µm

II. Expressing Measurements in Significant Figures

Express the figures in Part I to only 3 significant figures. Use scientific notation, as necessary.
1. 4880 mi 6. 6.29 g 11. 9.87 in
2. 27500 m 7. 2.25 × 10-6 m 12. 5.68 mL
3. 0.700 min 8. 60100 ton 13. 0.00101 L
4. 26.0 mL 9. 580000 ft. 14. 5870 N
10. 3.70 kg 15. 569 µm
5. 28.1 g/cm^3

III. Significant Figures in Operations

Carry out the following operations as if they were calculations of experimental results. Express each answer in
the correct units with the correct number of significant figures:
1. 5.6792m + 10.6m + 14.33m = 30.6 m
2. 39.70𝑔 − 22.9133𝑔 = 16.79 g
3. 4.51cm × 33.666cm = 151.83 cm

(ANSWER)

V. Problem Solving

A 35-L block of ice (density at 0.9167 g/cm3) sits on a surface that is 25 inches wide and 16 inches long on Mars,
where the acceleration due to gravity is only 38.74% that of Earth’s. Express the pressure exerted on this surface
using atmospheres.
