Respuesta :

Answer:

The weight of chemical A to the nearest gram is 11 g

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To Round a number

a) Decide which is the last digit to keep  

b) Leave it the same if the next digit is less than [tex]5[/tex] (this is called rounding down)  

c) But increase it by  [tex]1[/tex] if the next digit is  [tex]5[/tex] or more (this is called rounding up)

In this problem we have

[tex]11.256\ g[/tex]

We want to keep the digit [tex]1[/tex]

The next digit is 2 which is less than [tex]5[/tex], so no change is needed to [tex]1[/tex]

therefore

The weight of chemical A to the nearest gram is 11 g
