just a quick question... (not a HW question)
i know that when you do multiplication/division between numbers you take the lowest amount of sig figs of the two and apply it to your answer... HOWEVER:
what would be the answer for a question such as:
0.00420 x 60 = ?
the first part has 3 sig figs, while the second part has 1... although I've heard you don't count whole integers, so would the answer be
0.252 or 0.3 ?
thanks
