Enter the answer to the correct number of significant figures for this calculation, using the rules for significant figures. 1310 ✕ 3.14175 = 4115.693

Answer 1

Hello Izzie;

To determine the answer to the correct number of significant figures for the multiplication of 1310 and 3.14175, we need to consider the significant figures in each number and then perform the multiplication.

1310 has 3 sigfs.

3.14175 has 6 sigfs.

Now, multiply the them:

1310 * 3.14175 = 4115.7175

To round to the correct number of significant figures, we look at the least number of significant figures in the original numbers, which is 3 in the case of 1310. Therefore, we round the result to 3 sig figs:

4115.7175 rounded to 3 sig figs is 4120.

I hope I could explain it clearly.
