Precision in Measurement

Question 92698 • AZ-Common Core Algebra II A

What number could be added to 0.40 mL for the level of precision to be 0.01 mL? Check all that apply0.2 mL0.154 mL6 mL2.02 mL8.8331 mL

Answer
A
0.2 mL
B
0.154 mL
C
6 mL
D
2.02 mL
E
8.8331 mL

Explanation

When measurements are added, the result is rounded to the least precise decimal place among the numbers. Since 0.40 mL is precise to the hundredths place (0.01 mL), the added number must be precise to the hundredths place or more precisely. The choices 0.154 mL, 2.02 mL, and 8.8331 mL meet that condition; 0.2 mL and 6 mL are less precise.
