On a fishing trip you catch a bass, a rock cod, and a salmon with masses of 1.07 kg, 6.0 kg, and
6.05 kg, respectively. What is the total mass of your catch with the proper number of significant
figures?

Respuesta :

The total mass of your catch is 13.1 kg

Since you have three fishes a bass, a rock cod, and a salmon with masses of 1.07 kg, 6.0 kg, and  6.05 kg, respectively,

The total mass of your catch = mass of bass + mass of rock cod + mass of salmon

= 1.07 kg + 6.0 kg + 6.05 kg

= 13.12 kg

Since the total mass of your catch is 13.12 kg and we have three catches with two catches to two decimal places and one catch to one decimal place.

We cannot have more decimal places in our answer than the number of decimal places in the number with the least number of decimal places.

Since the least number of decimal places is in the mass of the rock cod which is 6.0 kg, the total mass of our catch is thus 13.1 kg to one decimal place.

So, the total mass of your catch is 13.1 kg
