  20. Adding and Subtraction with Significant Figures When adding or subtracting numbers round the answer to the largest decimal place found in the uncertain digitsof any of the numbers used. 6. ↓ largest decimal place 5.331 x 10-4 0.0005331 - 2.126 x 10-5 0.00002126 5.118 x 10-4 0.0005118

  21. 7. Add the two numbers- another way to do it 0.02657 x 10-12 2.657 x 10-12 2.657 x 10-14 0.027 x 10-12 2.684 x 10-12 Change the lower exponent to the higher and write it directly underneath. You are making the exponent larger so make the number smaller.

  22. 8. Subtract the two numbers- another way to do it 0.005292 x 1018 8.9967 x 1018 - 5.222 x 1015 - 0.0053 x 1018 8.9914 x 1018 Change the lower exponent to the higher and write it directly underneath. You are making the exponent larger so make the number smaller.
