Question

I don't understand the wording. The least significant digit means the last digit? 

7.700 X 2.1 = 16.17     would the uncertainty be  0.01 ?

2.132 + 17 + 4.04 = 23.172   would the uncertainty be 0.001 ?

Perform the indicated mathematical operations. State the uncertainty of the final answer as +
1-digit variation in the least significant digit. (remember that the last significant digit's place
holder is the most uncertain digit!)
7.700 × 2.1 =
uncertainty:
2.132 + 17 + 4.04 =
uncertainty:
27000 + 500 =
uncertainty:
30.0 x 50.0 =
uncertainty:
(9.6 × 107)(1.24 × 103)
1.897 × 102
uncertainty:
