Question

[01.07]what is the answer to the problem: 101 g + 25.01 g + 5.05 g? 131.06 g 131.1 g 131 g 130 g

Answer 1

`\boxed{\text{131 g}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding or subtracting values, you must round your answer to the same "place" as the measurement with its last significant figure furthest to the left.

That is, you round off to the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the fewest decimal places.

`\begin{array}l101.& \text{g}\\25. & \text{01 g}\\5. & \text{05 g} \\\mathbf{131.} & \text{06 g}\\\end{array}`

The measurement of 101 g has no digits after the decimal point, so you round off the answer to give no digits to the right of the decimal.

`\text{The sum is }\boxed{\textbf{131 g}}`
