Example: 1. Covert 56 000 seconds ( hours. 2. miles ( km 3. km ( inches 4. km/s ( mi/h 5. km2 ( mi2 6. m/s2 -> km/h2 and some more Find  HYPERLINK "http://oakroadsystems.com/math/" \l "Factors" the conversion factor for the given and desired units, and write it as a fraction with the given units in the opposite position from the original measurement. (If the original measurement has the given units in the numerator, the conversion fraction needs them in the denominator, and vice versa.) The value of that fraction is 1, since the top and bottom are equal. If the given units are raised to a power, raise the conversion fraction to that same power. Multiply the original measurement by the conversion fraction, and simplify. Significant Numbers What strikes you about the difference between a measurement of 1.615in and 1.6in? The first is more precise than the second, meaning it could be anything between 1.6145 and 1.6154. ROUNDING Example: Round the following: 3.4674 2.45 3.23 89.906 The significant digits in a number start at the first non-zero digit and end at the last digit. Examples: 1417 has four significant digits, and so do 1.417 and 0.00001417. What about 14.1700? It has six significant digits, not four, because only zeroes at the start of a number are non-significant. Finally, 14.07 has four significant digits. There can be some ambiguity with trailing zeroes in a large whole number. For instance, we quote the average distance from earth to sun as 93 million miles. In that form, the number has two significant digits. All were saying is that the average distance is 92 to 93 million. To get around this problem, numbers are often expressed in scientific notation. For instance, the figure of 93 million miles is 9.3107 miles (nine point three times ten to the seventh). On your calculator it appears as 9.3E7. Practice How many significant digits are in each of these numbers? 4800, 4800.0, 4.8, 0.0000067, .0000067. Answer: Note 4800, zeros are probably just place holders, but 4800.0 the last zero is not needed to hold a place, therefore significant. Rounding the results of Calculations Now you see whats wrong with 25 feet divided by 6.0 equals 4.166666667 feet, which is what your calculator will tell you. A measurement of 25 feet is accurate only to the nearest foot; you cant get an answer that is accurate to a billionth of a foot! Significant Digits in Multiplication, Division, Trig. functions, etc. In a calculation involving multiplication, division, trigonometric functions, etc., the number of significant digits in an answer should equal the least number of significant digits in any one of the numbers being multiplied, divided etc. Example: 1. Compute and round your answer properly: 34.7811.70.17. Answer: the least significant number has two significant digits, and therefore the answer must have two significant digits. You take the 2393.682353 from your calculator and round it to 2400 (or 2.4102 in scientific notation). 2. Compute and round your answer properly: 16.2. Answer: the original has three significant digits, and the answer must have the same. Your calculator gives 262.44, which you round to 262. 3. Three people will share a lottery prize of $24.8 million equally. How much will each one receive, before taxes? Answer: 24.83= 8.2666666667 on the calculator. 24.8 has three significant digits. The 3 looks like it has only one significant digit, but it is an exact number: not between 2 and 3 people but 3 people exactly. Think of it as being 3.000000000... people. Therefore the answer will have three significant digits: each person gets $8.27 million. Significant Digits in Addition and Subtraction When quantities are being added or subtracted, the number of decimal places (not significant digits) in the answer should be the same as the least number of decimal places in any of the numbers being added or subtracted. Example: 5.67 J (two decimal places) 1.1 J (one decimal place) 0.9378 J (four decimal place) 7.7 J (one decimal place) Keep One Extra Digit in Intermediate Answers When doing multi-step calculations, keep at least two more significant digit in intermediate results than needed in your final answer. For instance, if a final answer requires two significant digits, then carry at least four significant digits in calculations. If you round-off all your intermediate answers to only two digits, you are discarding the information contained in the third digit, and as a result the second digit in your final answer might be incorrect. You are usually safe if you compute with two more significant figures than your ultimate answer will have.
