Matter and Measurement

In the universe, there is matter, energy, and void space. The universe contains energy and void space. The definition of matter can be considered as something which possesses mass and consumes space. Chemistry is that branch of science which deals with the study of matter. Under chemistry, nature, composition, and the changes occurring to matter are discussed.

between significant digits are always significant. figures. Example: 5,007 has 4 significant figures. 3) Trailing zeros in a number are significant only If the number contalns a decimal polnt. Example: 100.0 has 4 significant figures. 100 has 1 significant figure. 4) Zeros in the beginning of a number whose only function Is to place the decimal polnt are not significant. Example: 0.0025 has 2 significant figures. 5) Zeros following a decimal significant figure are significant. Example: 0.000470 has 3 significant figures. 0.47000 has 5 signlficant figures.

q26 Hi !The percentage is a little bit weird where total is 100.3 percent instead of 100 percent.My answer is A while the answer scheme says its C instead.Can anyone verified this for me ? Thank you !
(4.123 × 0.12) + 24.2 why is the answer 25 and not 24.7? The last rule to be used is the addition, which meant I would round to 1 decimal place in this case. Yet the final answer is rounded to two significant figures (multiplication rule), why is this?
