How many seconds are in one day (setup a conversion)? Q of the Day A nurse needs to portion out a medicine. She has 4.2 liters. One dose is 210 milliliters how many doses does she have? (1st step = convert 4.2 liters into milliliters.) How many seconds are in one day (setup a conversion)?

Significant Figure Rules Think Certainty Rules governing significance: Non-zeros are always Significant (1, 2, 3, 4…). 2. Zeros between non-zeros (sig. figs.) are Always Significant (707).
Significant Figure Rules Rules governing significance: 3. A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant (0.010200). 4. Place holders are not significant (0.004, 400) are significant are NOT significant
Significant Figure Rules 4. Place holders are not significant (0.004, 400) Zeroes placed before other digits are not significant; 0.046 has two significant digits. Zeroes at the end of a non-decimal # are significant only if there is a decimal point (100.). They are NOT sig. if there is not a decimal point (100)
Significant Figure Rules Another approach Non-zeros are Always Significant (1, 2, 3, 4…) 2. Zeros between non-zeros are Always Significant (707)
Left of the decimal Right of the decimal Another approach 3. Other Zeros Left of the decimal Right of the decimal Is the zero by its self Is there a non-zero If yes = Not sig. anywhere to the left If no is there a dec. – if yes = sig. Pt. to the right if yes = Significant 0.006 10.0506 2020 - 1 - 6 - 3

Rules For Adding And Subtracting With Sig. Figs. Periods 1+5 1. Do the Math – Get an answer 2. Go Back to your original Numbers and find the last significant digit (farthest to the right) – underline it in each original number. 3. Find the underlined digit farthest to the left and round your answer to that place
Rules For Adding And Subtracting With Sig. Figs. 1. 20. + 10 = 30 = 30 2. 0.010 + 20.0 = 20.01 = 20.0 3. 10. - 5.5 = 4.5 = 5
