Question
Add 4.8 x 10-8 to 5.2 x 10-7 on the basis of significant figures.

Answer


$\begin{array}{ll}& 4.8 \times 10^{-8}+5.2 \times 10^{-7} \\ \Rightarrow & 0.48 \times 10^{-7}+5.2 \times 10^{-7} \\ \Rightarrow & 10^{-7}(0.48+5.2) \\ \Rightarrow & 5.68 \times 10^{-7} \\ \Rightarrow & 5.7 \times 10^{-7}\end{array}$
