=62(2.54)cm
=157.48
=157cm(Correct the answer to 3 sig.fig)
2)A train takes 5 hours to travel from City A to Cty B at a speed of 60km/h.If the speed increases to 90km/h,how long does it take?(Correct the answer to 2 sig.fig.)
the distance between City A and City B = 5(60)=300km
the time taken
=300/90
=3.33333
=3.3 hours (Correct the answer to 2 sig.fig.)
3)In an experment,the thickness of a piece of paper is measured to be 0.017 mm with a relative error of 1/34.Find the range of its true thickness.
the percentage error =1/34 * 100%~2.94%
the absolute error = 0.017 * 2.94%~0.0005mm
the maximum thinkness=0.017+0.0005=0.0175mm
the minimum thinkness=0.017-0.0005=0.0165mm
Therefore , the range of its true thickness lies between 0.0165mm and 0.0175mm
