Perform each of the following calculations, and give an answer with the correct number of decimal places:

a.5.08g+25.1g

b.85.66cm+104.10cm+0.025cm

c.24.568mL-14.25mL

d.0.2654L-0.2585L

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)The required answer is, 30.2g

(b)The required answer is, 189.79cm

(c) The required answer is, 10.32mL

(d) The required answer is, 0.0069L

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information 

We need to find out the value of5.08g+25.1gwith correct no. of decimal places

02

Part (a) Step 2: Simplify

We know that,

The calculation of 5.08g+25.1gis, 30.18g

But the lowest of decimal places is one

So, the Answer is rounded off to the tenths place

Therefore, the required answer is,30.2g

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information  

We need to find out the value of85.66cm+104.10cm+0.025cmwith correct no. of decimal places

04

Part (b) Step 2: Simplify 

We know that,

The calculation of 85.66cm+104.10cm+0.025cmis, 189.785cm

But the lowest of decimal places are two

So, the Answer is rounded off to the hundredths place

Therefore, the required answer is,189.79cm

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given information  

We need to find out the value of24.568mL-14.25mLwith correct no. of decimal places

06

Part (c) Step 2: Simplify 

We know that,

The calculation of 24.568mL-14.25mLis, 10.318mL

But the lowest of decimal places are two

So, the Answer is rounded off to the hundredths place

Therefore, the required answer is,10.32mL

07

Part (d) Step 1: Given information 

We need to find out the value of0.2654L-0.2585Lwith correct no. of decimal places

08

Part (d) Step 2: Simplify 

We know that,

The calculation of 0.2654L-0.2585Lis, 0.0069L

But the lowest of decimal places are four

So, the Answer is rounded off to the ten-thousandths place

Therefore, the required answer is, 0.0069
