Solution

The image contains a set of math problems asking to perform indicated operations and express the final answer with the correct number of significant figures. I'll analyze and solve each problem based on the visible information:

  1. Problem 1: (6.998×103)(6.9×103)2.50×103\frac{(6.998 \times 10^3) - (6.9 \times 10^3)}{2.50 \times 10^3}

    Solution: 6.998×103=69986.998 \times 10^3 = 6998 6.9×103=69006.9 \times 10^3 = 6900 69986900=986998 - 6900 = 98 Then, 982.50×103=982500=0.0392\text{Then, } \frac{98}{2.50 \times 10^3} = \frac{98}{2500} = 0.0392

    The answer should have 3 significant figures (based on the given values): 3.92×102\boxed{3.92 \times 10^{-2}}

  2. Problem 2: (7.835×104)×(4.98×102)\sqrt{(7.835 \times 10^4) \times (4.98 \times 10^2)}

    Solution: 7.835×104=783507.835 \times 10^4 = 78350 4.98×102=4984.98 \times 10^2 = 498 78350×498=3.9×10778350 \times 498 = 3.9 \times 10^7 3.9×1076248.992\sqrt{3.9 \times 10^7} \approx 6248.992

    The answer should be rounded based on the least number of significant figures in the given numbers: 6.25×103\boxed{6.25 \times 10^3}

  3. Problem 3: 4.5502+9.8872+2.982\sqrt{4.550^2 + 9.887^2 + 2.98^2}

    Solution: 4.5502=20.70254.550^2 = 20.7025 9.8872=97.76819.887^2 = 97.7681 2.982=8.88042.98^2 = 8.8804 Adding the squares: 20.7025+97.7681+8.8804=127.351\text{Adding the squares: } 20.7025 + 97.7681 + 8.8804 = 127.351 127.35111.29\sqrt{127.351} \approx 11.29

    The answer should reflect significant figures from the values involved: 11.3\boxed{11.3}

  4. Problem 4: 6.78+5.903+6.8×1026.78 + 5.903 + 6.8 \times 10^2

    Solution: 6.8×102=6806.8 \times 10^2 = 680 6.78+5.903+680=692.6836.78 + 5.903 + 680 = 692.683

    Corrected to significant figures (least decimal places): 692.7\boxed{692.7}

  5. Problem 5: 5.876×1054.520×102\frac{5.876 \times 10^5}{4.520 \times 10^2}

    Solution: 5.876×105=5876005.876 \times 10^5 = 587600 4.520×102=452.04.520 \times 10^2 = 452.0 587600452.01299.1\frac{587600}{452.0} \approx 1299.1

    Adjusting to significant figures: 1.299×103\boxed{1.299 \times 10^3}
