Below you will find several arithmetic problems using measured values. Working through these problems will give you a chance to make sure you understand the rules of arithmetic with measured values. (Links to an external site.) Be sure to submit this discussion by the due date.
Instructions--Solve each problem on your calculator--you need not show individual steps but be sure to report your answer according to the rules. Remember that in addition/subtraction problems (Links to an external site.) you report your answer to the least degree of precision. On the other hand, in multiplication/division (Links to an external site.) problems you report your answer with the smallest number of significant figures in your problem.
After you report each answer, give a one or two sentence explanation of why you reported your answer as you did. You might refer to Module 2 (Measurement in Chemistry) to help you with your explanations.
You can refer to the rubric to see how the discussion post will be graded.
