QuestionCalculate the product of 3.15, 2.5, and 4.00 with the correct significant figures: $3.15 \times 2.5 \times 4.00 =$

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are performing a multiplication operation on three numbers3.15,.5, and4.00. . The number of significant figures in the final answer should be determined by the number with the least significant figures in the problem. In this case, it's.5, which has two significant figures.

STEP 2

Perform the multiplication operation.
$Product =.15 \\times2.5 \\times4.00$

STEP 3

Calculate the product.
$Product =3.15 \\times2.5 \\times.00 =31.5$

STEP 4

Now, we need to round the product to the correct number of significant figures. As stated in the assumptions, the number with the least significant figures in the problem is2., which has two significant figures. Therefore, our final answer should also have two significant figures.

STEP 5

Round the product to two significant figures.
$Product =31.5 \approx32$ The answer to the mathematical function is32.
