21) Which number or numbers above are the least accurate?
22) Which number or numbers above are the most accurate?
23) What do significant figures determine about a number?
The following problems have been performed on a calculator. Rewrite the answers so that they have the correct
number of significant figures. Remember the answer should have the same number of significant digits as the least
accurate measurement.
24) 1.25 g x 8.6 C =
10.75 gC
________________
25) 100.00 g  25.0 mL =
4 g/mL
________________
26) 500.00 cm x 40.00 cm =
20,000 cm2
________________
27) 38 cm + 5.100 cm + 4.13 cm =
47.23 cm
________________
28) 716.55 g – 0.005 g =
716.545 g
________________
29) 28.00 g  85.2 cm =
0.3286385 g/cm3
________________
30) 8.000 km – 0.54 km =
7.46 km
________________
31) 23.18 m + 6.819 m =
29.999 m
