Title: Sig Fig Doubt
Post by: Siddharth_Pendyala on January 05, 2025, 02:31:49 PM

Hi, I was redoing some quizzes to try to get higher scores when I found this problem. The initial temperature, as I have seen it to be, is around 22.5, and the final temperature is 28. 28-22.5 is 5.5, but since it is subtraction, shouldn't it be it be in minimum decimal places so that the correct answer is 6? Thanks, Siddharth. Screenshot 2025-01-05 at 11.29.07 AM.png

Your answer is correct.
In addition and subtraction ,follow the minimum decimal rule. So answer is 6 ⁰ C

Thank you! However, the quiz is selecting the correct answer as 5.5. I just wanted to let you know so you could fix it later.
