Multiplication

The answer must be rounded off to 2 significant figures, since 1.6 only has 2 significant figures.

Division

The answer must be rounded off to 3 significant figures, since 45.2 has only 3 significant figures.

 

 

Multiply or divide the following numbers and round the answer to the proper number of significant digits.

 

1) 6.201 cm  x  7.4 cm  x  0.68 cm  x 12.0 cm  =  ?

2) 1.6 m   x   1.62 m   x    1200 m   =   ?

3) 8.264 g   /   7.8 g   =    ?

4) 10.4168 m   /   6.0 m    =   ?

5) 12.00 m   x  15.001 m   =   ?

6)  131 cm  x  2.3 cm   =   ?

7)  5.7621 m  x  6.201 m   =  ?

8)    20.2 s   /  7.41 s   =   ?

9)  40.002 g  /  13.000005 ml  =  ?

 

 

1568.6 x  1564  =      

 

 

.0052365 x  125064 =

 

 

156700  / 26500  =

 

 

1050684.8  /  206540   =        

 

 

1564.8056    x  26540  =

 

 

325  x  10054  =

 

 

.0056800  x  410  =

 

 

5600079.0  /  50.0  =
