QuestionA chemical engineer has pollutant volumes: Fall River: 6.109 L, Platte: 20.60 L, New Bedford: 0.214 L. Find the average volume with correct significant digits.

Studdy Solution
The number of significant digits in the average should be the same as the number of significant digits in the measurement with the least number of significant digits. In this case, the volume from the New Bedford plant has the least number of significant digits (3). So, we round the average volume to3 significant digits.
Averagevolume=8.97LAverage\, volume =8.97\, LThe chemical engineer should report an average volume of8.97 L.
