Answer:
Two significant digits
Question 6: How many significant figures would 500.0 have? Why?
Answer:
- SD's because zeroes are to the right of a significant figure and a decimal place.

Answer:
1.70 L
Question 17: If you have no idea how a value of 1300 km was measured, how many SD's would it have?
Answer:
- SD's. This is because zeroes after a non-zero number are insignificant, they only act as placeholders.
Question 18: What is precision?
Answer:
Precision is the consistency of a result or how reproducible it is. Precision depends on the unit used to measure - the smaller the unit, the more precise the measurement is.Question 19: Write the number of SD's for: 24.7 kg
Answer:

Answer:
4
Question 24: How many Significant Digits does 5002 have? Why?
Answer:
- SD's because zeroes are in between 2 non-zeroes.
Question 25: Which is least precise?
