2. Solve the following operations and express the final answer with the correct number of significant figures:
2.052 mm + 1.54 mm = 3.592 mm, 4 sigfigs 11.29 g + 1.57 g + 2.0 g = 14.86 g, 4 sigfigs
7,052.1 L - 2,048.02 L = 500408 L, 6 sigfigs
32.467 s - 3.21 s = 29.257 s, 5 sigfigs

3. Solve the following operations and express the final answer with the correct number of significant figures:
3.32 cm x 2.1 cm = 6.972 cm, 4 sigfigs
9.71 m/s x 2.32 s = 22.5272 m/s, 6 sigfigs
4.32 g ÷ 1.562 mL = 2.76568502 g, 9 sigfigs 65.32 m ÷ 2.43 s = 26.8806, 6 sigfigs
