(i) 
(ii) 5 × 5.364
(iii) 0.0125 + 0.7864 + 0.0215
Rules for determining the significant figures
In addition or subtraction of the numbers having different precisions, the final result should be reported to the same number of decimal places as in the term having least number of decimal places
(i)
= 1.648
Least precise number of calculation = 298.15
Number of significant figures in the answer
= Number of significant figures in the least precise number = 2 i.e 1.65
(ii) 5 × 5.364 = 26.820
Least precise number of calculation = 5.364
Number of significant figures in the answer = Number of significant figures in 5.364 = 3 i.e 26.820
(iii) 0.0125 + 0.7864 + 0.0215 = 0.8204
Since the least number of decimal places in each term is four, the number of significant figures in the answer is also 4 i.e 0.8204
