Answer:
The difference is 7.6 grams.
Explanation:
In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:
[tex]a-b[/tex]
So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.
Therefore, it is get:
[tex]123.6grams-115.972grams = 7.6grams[/tex]
Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams.
The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.
Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:
[tex]7.6grams . \frac{1Kg}{1000grams}[/tex] ⇒ [tex]7.6x10^{-3}Kg[/tex]
