62. If you report two measurements of mass, 7.42 g and 7.56 g, are the measurements accurate? Are they precise? Explain your answers. (2.3)
You must know the accepted value to know if the measurements are accurate. They are fairly precise because there is only 0.14 g difference between the two measurements.

Section 2-3Rounding Numbers
• Calculators are not aware of significant figures.
• Answers should not have more significant figures than the original data with the fewest figures, and should be rounded.

Section 2-3Rounding Numbers (cont.)
• Rules for rounding– Rule 1: If the digit to the right of the last significant figure
is less than 5, do not change the last significant figure.– Rule 2: If the digit to the right of the last significant figure
is greater than 5, round up to the last significant figure.– Rule 3: If the digits to the right of the last significant figure
are a 5 followed by a nonzero digit, round up to the last significant figure.

Section 2-3Rounding Numbers (cont.)
• Rules for rounding (cont.)– Rule 4: If the digits to the right of the last significant
figure are a 5 followed by a 0 or no other number at all, look at the last significant figure. If it is odd, round it up; if it is even, do not round up.

Section 2-3Rounding Numbers (cont.)
• Addition and subtraction– Round numbers so all numbers have the same
number of digits to the right of the decimal.
• Multiplication and division– Round the answer to the same number of
significant figures as the original measurement with the fewest significant figures.

When adding and subtracting, limit and round your answer to the least number of decimal places in any of the numbers that make up your answer.
Example 2: 123.25 ml + 46.0 ml + 86.257 ml =225,507 ml
