Question

Complete and report the answer in scientific notation with the correct number of significant figures.

Answer 1

Recall that in a product or a quotient the result should be rounded to the least number of significant figures in any number of the problem, therefore:

`((1.12*10^9)(5.850*10^(-2)))/(7.0601*10^(-3))=0.9280321080*10^(10)\approx9.28*10^9\text{.}`

Answer: 9.28x10⁹.
