QuestionCalculate $3.0 \times 5$ and report the answer using significant figures.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are multiplying two numbers3.0 and5. We are asked to report the answer using significant figures

STEP 2

First, we need to perform the multiplication operation.
$Product =.0 \\times5$

STEP 3

Calculate the product.
$Product =3.0 \\times5 =15$

STEP 4

Now, we need to consider the significant figures. The rule for multiplication and division is that the result should have the same number of significant figures as the number in the calculation with the least significant figures.
In this case,3.0 has two significant figures and has one significant figure. Therefore, our answer should have one significant figure.

STEP 5

Adjust the product to reflect the correct number of significant figures.
The number15 with one significant figure is20.So, the final answer is20.
