Answer:

0. 100 + 5.4

,

1. 150

,

2. 1.833+95.6

,

3. 3.057

Explanation:

Given the numbers:

• 100 + 5.4

,

• 150

,

• 1.833+95.6

,

• 3.057

As a general rule, when adding or subtracting numbers, use the least number of significant figures past the decimal point.

(1)100+5.4

The least number of significant figure is 1.

Therefore, the sum should have 1 significant figure.

Match this with 1.

(2)The number 150 is written correct to 2 significant figures.

Match 150 with 2.

(3)in the sum 1.833+95.6, the least number of significant figure in the sum is 3, therefore, match this with 3.

(4)The number 3.057 is written correct to 4 significant figure.

Match 3.057 with 4.
