Solve the problems. Express your answers to the correct number of significant figures.

1. [tex]\(0.091 + 1.324 = \square\)[/tex]

2. [tex]\(41.0 + 78.3 = \square\)[/tex]



Answer :

Alright, let's solve these problems step by step and ensure that we express our answers to the correct number of significant figures.

1. For the first problem, we are asked to add [tex]\( 0.091 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( 1.324 \)[/tex]. We need to ensure that our result is rounded to the correct number of significant figures.

[tex]\[ 0.091 + 1.324 = 1.415 \][/tex]

The result, [tex]\( 1.415 \)[/tex], is rounded to three significant figures.

2. For the second problem, we need to add [tex]\( 41.0 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( 78.3 \)[/tex]. Again, we need to make sure that the result is rounded to the correct number of significant figures.

[tex]\[ 41.0 + 78.3 = 119.3 \][/tex]

The result, [tex]\( 119.3 \)[/tex], is also given in three significant figures.

Therefore, the solutions to the problems are:

[tex]\[ 0.091 + 1.324 = 1.415 \\ 41.0 + 78.3 = 119.3 \][/tex]
