Question

Multiply 5.036×102m by 0.078×10−1, taking into account significant figures.

Answer 1

Answer : The significant digit is 6

Explanation :

Multiply
`5.036*10^(2)m` by
`0.078*10^(-1)m`

Now, on multiplying

`5.036*10^(2)m *0.078*10^(-1)m = 0.392808 *10^(1)\ m^(2)`

`5.036*10^(2)m *0.078*10^(-1)m = 0.0392808\ m^(2)`

Now, the significant digit is 6.

Hence, this is the required solution.
