Complete the following operation and then enter your answer as a decimal with the correct number of significant figures. (17.543 + 2.19) × 1.04821 = (17.543+2.19)×1.04821= ?

Answer : The answer will be 20.68

Explanation :

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

The rule apply for the multiplication and division is :

The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

The rule apply for the addition and subtraction is :

The least precise number present after the decimal point determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

The given expression is:

In the given expression, 17.543 has 5 significant figures and 2.19 has 3 significant figures. From this we conclude that least precise number present after the decimal point is 2.  So, the answer will be:

In the given expression, 19.73 has 4 significant figures and 1.04821 has 6 significant figures. From this we conclude that 4 is the least significant figures in this problem. So, the answer should be in 4 significant figures.

Thus, the answer will be 20.68
