We always choose for the result, the lowest significant number of one of the quantities in the
multiplication which is 2 in our problem,
—_—_
a) = (2.7) x (8.632) = 23.3064 = 23

Step 2 2015
b) Estimation:
40-10%
5-10!
3.600 - 10-4 = 4 significant figures
8-106
45 = 2 significant figures
So the result will have 2 significant figures
Calculation
3.600 - 10-4
=8.0-10-6
7 = 8.0-10
Step 3 30f5.
C) Estimation:
2.365 + 125.2 = 125 +2 = 127 = 130
Both of the quantities has 4 significant figures, but in our case we will use
the rule of addition which gives attention to the last significant figures in
the sum.
125.2
2.365
127.565 > 127.6

Step 4 4065
d)
Estimation:
5-10'—9-10? =5- 104
9 - 10? is much smaller for a result with a 1 significant figure so we drop it for our estimation.
In our case, we will focus on the subtraction rule which gives the attention on the last
significant number in the quantities and the result
9 - 10?has | significant figure
4.753 - 10¢has 4 significant figures
Calculation:
4.753 - 10* — 9 - 10? = (4.753 — 0.09) x 10* = 4.663 - 10* = 5 - 104
Result Sots
a) Estimation: 27
Calculation: 23
b)Estimation: 8.0 - 10-6
Calculation: 8.0 - 10-6
Estimation: 127
Calculation: 127.6
)Estimation: 5 - 104
Calculation: 5 - 10*
