Question
The final result of the calculation in an experiment is 125,347,200. Express the number in term of significant place when accuracy is between 1 and 10
Solution
Final result of the calculation in an experiment = 125,347,200
When accuracy lies between 1 and 10, then the final result may be written as 1.2 × 108.
