Question

Michael has 225 milliliters of a liquid. To find out the number of grams of calcium in this liquid, Michael multiplies the volume by 0.015. When he writes the number representing the amount of calcium in the liquid, how many significant digits will the number have?

Answer 1

Answer:the answer is 2 trust me it had 2 significant digits

Explanation:

The reason why is because the number 0.015 only has 2 significant digits is because until a number that is not 0 comes up then it doesn’t count as a significant digit so in this case the number 1 is the number that does start with a zero so thats 1 significant digit and then after that is 5 so they’re is the second significant digit so the 2 other zeros don’t count cause in order for the zero to be a significant digit it has to be to the left of a other number thats not 0 so there’s your answer mark me brailiest pls and have a good day .-. :)

Answer 2

In mathematical operations with significant figures the answer must reflects the reliability of the least precise number. 225 has three significant figures, whereas 0.015 has two -leading zeroes are not significant figures, so our answer must have two significant figures to reflect the reliability of the number 0.015, which has two significant figures.


`225*0.015=3.4`

We can conclude that the number representing the amount of calcium in the liquid will have two significant figures.
