Homework Statement
When doing operations with numbers with uncertainties, if the significant figures of the resultant number's uncertainty is lower the significant figures of the resultant number, how should I show the resultant uncertainty. For example,
Homework Equations
if you do the operation 5.40+-0.10 / 90.00+-0.05 , the result is
0.06+-0.001
The Attempt at a Solution
the solution must either be
0.06 +- 0.00
or
0.06 +- 0.01x(10^(-1))
since the number of the significant numbers should be equal. so which one is it?
