how many significant figures should the product 62.25x37.4 have
Answer:
3
Explanation:
We are given that an expression
\(62.25\times 37.4\)
We have to find that how many significant figures in the product.
Significant figures in 37.4 are three
Significant figures in 62.25 are four.
Product of 62.25 and 37.4
\(62.25\times 37.4=2328.15\)
We know that significant rule in multiplication:
The least significant figures of any number will determine the significant figure of the product.
We see 37.4 have three significant figures then product should have three significant figures.
Hence,\(62.25\times 37.4=2330\) have 3 significant figures because zeroes on right side after non zero digits are not significant.
