How would do I use significant figures in a situation like this?

If the question uses 55 degrees celsius, and u need to convert it into Kelvins, so it can be used properly in the formula. Would my answer remain with 2 significant figures or 3? When you add 273 to 55 it becomes 3. (all other data is given with 4 significant figures)

adding and subtracting uses the least precise number to figure sig figs
so the 55 +273= 318 would be 3 sig figs as both numbers are the same precision. Another example: 123.55 + 34= 157.55 BUT 34 is the least precise number so the decimals are insignificant so it must be rounded to 158 which is 3 sig figs
Don’t forget these are all measured numbers where the last digit is estimated. In the case of 34 that number could have been 33.5 or 34.4 both round to 34

Hasbro has already released them, its just rare to find them in stores because most stores need to clear their shelves first before restocking

Where can I buy Star Wars action figures by the case or box?

Wanting to purchase sealed cases/boxes of ANY Star Wars action figures; so I would be buying 10-12 at a time. Don’t mind whether the case is all the same figure or an assortment of a certain series.

Typically big retailers like Toys R Us, Wal Mart, and Target would have cases of toys in the back packed up. I usually grab a store worker working in the Toy section and explain to them what I wanted to do and they would go in the back and bring out a random box. They usually come in boxes of twelve figures.

What is a good store to buy cheap action figures?

What is a good store to buy cheap action figures? For southpark or anything else.

But they have to be there and any place that might have it will be pricey. I would start with a store that specializes in this. Initially, I would have mentioned Suncoast, but I don’t think they are in business any more.

What is the easiest way to understand significant digits/figures in chemistry?

Can someone please use the simplest and easiest method possible to explain (the rules of) significant digits/figures please! I am struggling with this tremendously!

My teacher said, "Atlantic, Pacific." Think of the United States and on the left you have the Atlantic and Pacific on the right. If there are no decimals, if they are ABSENT (A – Atlantic) start from the first non-zero digit on the left and count to the right. If there IS a decimal, PRESENT (P- Pacific) start from the first digit on the right and count to the left. :)

How many significant figures should be expressed in the answer to the following?

How many significant figures should be expressed in the answer to the following:
2.333 x 10^3 + 1.1 x 10^2 =
I found out that the answer is: 3 significant figures. But, I don’t understand why is it 3. Shouldn’t it be the number of the fewest decimal places in the question which is 1 in this case? I don’t understand why the correct answer is 3. Please explain.

When adding, you look at the actual precision of the two numbers, not the number of significant figures.

2.333 x 10^3 = 2333 (accurate to the "ones" digit)
1.1 x 10^2 = 110 (acurate to the "tens" digit)
So the sum is accurate to the tens digit,
i.e. 2443, which you then round to the nearest ten, making in 2440

For a more extreme example:
1234000 + 7 = 1234007, which you then round to the nearest thousand, i.e. 1234000. The one digit 7 does not force you to round it to 1 significant figure.

How could I sell my collection of wrestling figures?

I have a huge, unopened collection of wrestling figures that are over ten years old. I have over 40 packs and its cool stuff, like Stone Cold, HHH, and the Rock. I recently had a daughter and could use money more that a hobby. I tried EBay and basically sold 2 figures for like $5 total and lost a lot of money. If anyone has any suggestions on how I could sell these I would appreciate the help.

There might be some "collectors” in ur area. So try hitting someone you think likes to buy those figures. I bet you can find some.

How do you turn off the Hasbro i-Dog Robotic Music Loving Canine?

I have had this dog for about three years and this morning, I turned it on and it will not turn off. I tried to reset it already but it is not working. How do you turn it off? I lost the manual.

It sounds bit odd.
