II. Significant Figures

A. Identify the number of significant figures for the following measurements.

1. 856.000 ______________________
2. 0.0007840 s ______________________
3. 180.0 L ______________________
4. 6430045 m/s ______________________
5. 965 m² ______________________
6. 0.80 mm ______________________
7. 0.0000789000 cm ______________________
8. 180.75 mL ______________________
9. 5000000 g ______________________
10. 863607000 s ______________________

B. Perform the following calculations. Express the answer the answer with the correct
number of significant figures.

1. 56.0 s + 135.002 s + 12 s = _______________________

2. 0.11 m + 0.1110 m + 365 m = _______________________
3. 365.25 L – 80.0 L = _______________________
4. 18. 563 L – 0.5L = _______________________
5. 50.08 m x 0.1 m x 16 m = _______________________
6. 1.6350 cm x 12.03 cm x 103.521 cm = _______________________
7. 8316.00 m ÷ 21.00 s = _______________________
8. 999 km ÷ 3.003 hr = _______________________
