Lab- Calculate Relative Uncertainty, How many sig figs?

[ChiralWaltz]

Homework Statement

Calculate the relative uncertainty in the mass
mass (M) = 1.0 grams

Homework Equations

\frac{\delta M}{M}

The Attempt at a Solution

\delta M = \pm0.05g
\frac {0.05g}{1.0g} = 0.05

or
\frac {0.05g}{1.0g} = 0.050

Which one has the appropriate amount of sig figs?

thanks for your help :)

The units cancel when dividing grams by grams !
