STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are adding or subtracting measurements in milliliters (m). . The number of significant digits in the answer should match the least number of decimal places in the given measurements.

STEP 2

First, let's add the first set of measurements.14.500m+15.8m=m14.500\,m +15.8\,m = \square\,m

STEP 3

Perform the addition.
14.500m+15.8m=30.3m14.500\,m +15.8\,m =30.3\,m

STEP 4

The answer should have one decimal place as the measurement with the least number of decimal places (15.8 mL) has one decimal place. So, the answer to the first problem is30.3 mL.

STEP 5

Next, let's subtract the second set of measurements.
18.90m2.600m=m18.90\,m -2.600\,m = \square\,m

STEP 6

Perform the subtraction.
18.90m2.600m=16.30m18.90\,m -2.600\,m =16.30\,m

STEP 7

The answer should have three decimal places as the measurement with the least number of decimal places (2.600 mL) has three decimal places. So, the answer to the second problem is16.300 mL.

STEP 8

Finally, let's add the third set of measurements.
3.8m+1.670m=m3.8\,m +1.670\,m = \square\,m

STEP 9

Perform the addition.
3.8m+.670m=5.470m3.8\,m +.670\,m =5.470\,m

STEP 10

The answer should have one decimal place as the measurement with the least number of decimal places (3.8 mL) has one decimal place. So, the answer to the third problem is5.5 mL.
So, the answers to the problems are.30.3 mL2.16.300 mL3.5.5 mL
