Hey Ryan!
ReplyDeleteAll you answers are very clear. I think you answered the question perfectly. Just to review, when adding numbers- there can only be a certain number of sig figs after the decimal in the answer. When multiplying numbers- there has to be a certain number of sig figs in the whole answer including the numbers before and after the decimal point. Great job!
I agree with Puja, your answers are complete, but an explanation of how you arrived to your answer would have been nice to help reinforce our skills.
