Add $8.25 \times 10^{3} c m$ to $6.34 \times 10^{2} c m$ with regard to significant figures. Give the answer in units of $10^{3} c m$ .

Answer:

8.88

Solution:

$b = 6.34 \times 10^{2}$ cm $= 0.634 \times 10^{3}$ cm

$a + b = 8.25 \times 10^{3} + 0.634 \times 10^{3}$

$= 8.884 \times 10^{3}$ cm

The least accurate term ( $8.25 \times 10^{3}$ ) is known to the second decimal place in these units, so the sum rounds to $8.88 \times 10^{3}$ cm.
