Calculate to the correct number of significant figures. d. 532 + 7.3 - 48.523

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the numbers involved in the calculation: 532, 7.3, and 48.523.
Determine the number of decimal places for each number: 532 has 0 decimal places, 7.3 has 1 decimal place, and 48.523 has 3 decimal places.
Perform the addition and subtraction: (532 + 7.3) - 48.523.
Determine the number of decimal places in the result based on the number with the least decimal places involved in the calculation, which is 0 decimal places from 532.
Round the final result to the correct number of decimal places, which is 0, to ensure the answer has the correct number of significant figures.
