When working multi-step calculations, allow your calculator to keep as many digits as is displayed. When writing the result of a calculation on paper, it is only necessary to report two\ (2) more digits then is justified.\ As an example...\

5.039\\\\times 15.375

\ as performed with a calculator yields 77.474625 , with only four of those digits being significant. If this were the only step in the calculation, the number would be reported as 77.47 with four significant digits and two decimal places.\ If, instead, this were one step of a multiple-step calculation, two additional significant digits are written down, unless it is the last step of the calculation. In such a circumstance, the answer would be written as 77.4746 .\ Choose the appropriate answer, when prompted, for the following multiple-step problems.\ Step 1 - multiply 23.4 by 13.08\ How many significant digits can be maintained in the answer to step 1?\ Step 2 - divide the product of step 1 by 29.5117\ How many significant digits can be maintained in the answer to step 2 ?\ How many decimal places can be maintained in the answer to step 2?
