if you combine 3 lots of bronze (3.45grams, 48.5 grams, and 147.863 grams) by melting them together, what is the mass of bronze in the new batch?
We have 3 lots of Bronze weighing 3.45 grams, 48.5 grams, and 147.863 grams
If they are melt and are combined, the answer will just be the sum of all three numbers with appropriate significant number. In addition, we look only at the significant figures after decimal and keep the least significance digits. Here, 3.45 has 2 digits after decimal, 48.5 g has only 1 whereas 147.683 g has 3 digits. Thus, we will keep the least digits i.e. 1 digit after decimal.
Total weight = 3.45 g + 48.5 g + 147.863 g= 199.813 g = 199.8 g
So, the answer will be 199.8 g
