heelp with sig figs!

0.06236 x2 =
???

how many sig figs would the answer have?
😕

Significant figures. Don't confuse me.

****.

err 1?

It depends on the lesser number.

0.06234 has five significant numbers after the decimal, whereas 2 is just one significant number. Put the two together through multiplication and your straight answer is 0.12472, but with significant figures involved, your answer is zilch, zip, zero.

Nah it's .1

A 0.06236 x 2 pixel sig wouldn't be big at all.

i would say round to .1 as well ✅

i don't think we do that tho...from my notes the answer is more than one. but then they join all the calculations so i cant see where they did what.😕

They might keep it at four sig figs. .1247 if 2 is part of a ratio.
