This document contains exercises on identifying significant figures and applying the rules of operations to them. In the first part, students are asked to underline the significant figures in various measurements and list the number of significant figures. The second part provides addition, subtraction, multiplication and division exercises applying the rules of significant figures

Activity 2.1 “Accuracy and Precision”
TRIAL MOISTURE CONTENT (%)
1 5.03 2 5.59 3 5.33 4 4.85 5 5.80
1. Are the results accurate? Explain.
- The results are accurate because of the closeness of every value from each trial of the moisture content that have been conducted.
2. Are the results precise? Explain.
-The findings of the moisture content trial are not particularly accurate since the measurements of each trial are not near enough to each other, resulting in an imprecise experiment.
3. Why is there a need to conduct several trials is an experiment?
- Multiple trials of the name experiment are required to guarantee that the findings are accurate and precise, as well as to obtain the intended goal of the experiment's researchers. Furthermore, it is required in order to avoid a failure due to random events. DO THIS In the first column identify the significant figures in each measurement by underlining them. Then fill in the second column.

RULES OF OPERATIONS ON SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
“ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION EXERCISES” 1. 34.2 mL + 2.67 mL = 36.9 mL 2. 7.50 mL + 11.3 mL = 18.8 mL 3. 25.458 g + 42.21 g = 67.67 g 4. 56.8 mL – 3.68 mL = 53.1 mL 5. 24.65 g – 12.45 g = 12.2 g
“MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION EXERCISES”
1. 12.35 cm times 7.5 cm = 92. 625 cm2 = 93 cm2 2. 12.35 cm times 7.50 cm = 92.625 cm2 = 92.6 cm2 3. 12.35 cm times 7.50 cm times 1.55 cm = 143.56875 cm2 = 144 cm2 4. 56.82 mL / 52.4 mL = 1.0843 g/mL = 1.08 g/mL 5. 101.5 m / 9. 86 s = 10.294 m/s
