Carry out each calculation and give the answers using the proper number of significant figures. 0.606/25345
To determine the answer using the proper number of significant figures, we need to consider the number with the fewest significant figures. In this case, 0.606 has three significant figures and 25345 has five significant figures. According to the rules of significant figures, the result of a division or multiplication should have the same number of significant figures as the number with the fewest significant figures.
Dividing 0.606 by 25345, we get:
0.606/25345 = 0.000023906553
Considering the number with the fewest significant figures, which is 0.606 with three significant figures, the answer should also have the same three significant figures.
Therefore, the answer is 0.0000239 (to three significant figures).
