3. 4390 13. 96

4. 0.500 14. 678.02400

5. 500 15. 30000

6. 5.9 × 104 16. 0.002

7. 0.40001 17. 91630

8. 1.7 × 10−3 18. 0.000400

9. 650. 19. 6.0

10. 4.150 × 10−4 20. 352

II. Calculate the answer to the appropriate number of significant figures.

1. 32.567 + 135.0 + 1.4567 =

10. 0.2 / 0.0005 =
2. 246.24 + 238.278 + 98.3 =
11. 7.895 + 3.4 =
3. 658.0 + 23.5478 + 1345.29 =
12. 350.0 – 200 =
4. 23.7 × 3.8 =
13. 27.68 – 14.369 =
5. 45.76 × 0.25 =
11.34−9.63
14. ( ) × 100.0 =
11.34
6. 81.04 × 0.010 =
2.0265−2.02
7. 6.47 × 64.5 = 15. ( 2.0265
) × 100.0 =

8. 0.005 – 0.0007 =

9. 7.895 / 34 =
