Drag the appropriate measurements to their respective bins.
20.60 ml
5.0 × 10^-3L
60 800 000 g
4.00 m
1036.48 kg
20.8 °C
20.60 ml - 4 SFs
5.0 × 10^-3L - 2 SFs
60 800 000 g - 3 SFs
4.00 m - 3 SFs
1036.48 kg - 6 SFs
20.8 °C - 3 SFs
Let's determine the number of significant figures (SFs) in each of the given measurements:
1. 20.60 ml - There are 4 significant figures.
2. 5.0 × 10^-3L - There are 2 significant figures.
3. 60 800 000 g - There are 8 significant figures.
4. 4.00 m - There are 3 significant figures.
5. 1036.48 kg - There are 6 significant figures.
6. 20.8 °C - There are 3 significant figures.
To summarize:
