3. Taking Measurements All measurements involve one estimation. If the measuring device is digital it will take the estimation for you. If the measuring device is scaled you must take the estimation yourself.

4. Electronic Measuring Devices Digital readout measuring diameter of 1.0420 inches. The last zero is the estimated digit.

5. Scaled Measuring Devices

10. Significant Digits

11. Rules for Significant Digits

12. All non-zero digits are significant.

13. Rules for Significant Digits All non-zero digits are significant. “Trailing” zeros after the decimal point ARE significant.

14. Rules for Significant Digits All non-zero digits are significant. “Trailing” zeros after the decimal point ARE significant. Zeros between significant digits are significant.

15. Rules for Significant Digits All non-zero digits are significant. “Trailing” zeros after the decimal point ARE significant. Zeros between significant digits are significant. All other zeros are NOT significant unless indicated to be so by having a bar placed over them.

16. How to Determine Significant Digits

17. Underline the leftmost nonzero digit.

18. How to Determine Significant Digits Underline the leftmost nonzero digit. Use the rules for significant digits to determine the rightmost significant digit.

19. How to Determine Significant Digits Underline the leftmost nonzero digit. Use the rules for significant digits to determine the rightmost significant digit. Every digit in between the leftmost and rightmost significant digits are significant as well.

20. Counting or Exact Numbers Counting numbers: If there are 10 people in a room there are not 9.5 or 10.76 people in the room. Counting numbers are exact. Ones in Conversion Factors: 1 kilometer = 1000 meters. Exactly 1 km is equal to exactly 1000m. The 1 is considered to be an exact number and so is the 1000. Since Counting numbers are exact they have an infinite number of significant digits.

23. Math Operations with Significant Digits When multiplying and/or dividing your answer must reflect the smallest number of significant digits.

24. Math Operations with Significant Digits When multiplying and/or dividing your answer must reflect the smallest number of significant digits. (17.3 cm)(28 cm) = 484.4 cm 2

25. Math Operations with Significant Digits When multiplying and/or dividing your answer must reflect the smallest number of significant digits. (17.3 cm)(28 cm) = 484.4 cm 2 = 480 cm 2

26. Math Operations with Significant Digits When multiplying and/or dividing your answer must reflect the smallest number of significant digits. (17.3 cm)(28 cm) = 484.4 cm 2 = 480 cm 2 708g ÷ 4.700ml = 150.63829 g/ml =

27. Math Operations with Significant Digits When multiplying and/or dividing your answer must reflect the smallest number of significant digits. (17.3 cm)(28 cm) = 484.4 cm 2 = 480 cm 2 708g ÷ 4.700ml = 150.63829 g/ml = 151g/ml

28. Addition and/or Subtraction reflects the fewest decimal places decimal places. 24.6 cm − 17.01 cm = 7.59 cm

29. Addition and/or Subtraction reflects the fewest decimal places decimal places. 24.6 cm − 17.01 cm = 7.59 cm = 7.6 cm

30. Addition and/or Subtraction reflects the fewest decimal places decimal places. 24.6 cm − 17.01 cm = 7.59 cm = 7.6 cm 8.5g + 1.32g + 0.18g =

31. Addition and/or Subtraction reflects the fewest decimal places decimal places. 24.6 cm − 17.01 cm = 7.59 cm = 7.6 cm 8.5g + 1.32g + 0.18g = 10g

32. Addition and/or Subtraction reflects the fewest decimal places decimal places. 24.6 cm − 17.01 cm = 7.59 cm = 7.6 cm 8.5g + 1.32g + 0.18g = 10g = 10.0g
