Answer to Problem 12SSC
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculations:
To determine the significant figure in subtraction, the result must have the exact number of significant figures like the measured value with the least number of significant figures.
The least number of significant figures is 3. Thus, answer up to three correct significant digits is:
Conclusion:
Thus, the result is
