Select the postulate of equality or inequality that is illustrated. if one fourths (1/4) + one fourths (1/4) = two fourths (2/4) and two fourths (2/4) = one half (1/2), then one fourth (1/4) + one fourth (1/4) = one half (1/2)

The transitive postulate of equality is illustrated in our given problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that transitive postulate of equality states that if a=b and b=c then a=c.

We are told that and .

Therefore, by the transitive postulate of equality .  

Significant figures are the digits that carry meaning to its measurement. Significant figures includes all the numbers excluding all the leading zeros, trailing zeros. All non zero digits are significant. Zeros between the non zero digits are significant. In a decimal number, trailing zeros are significant.

Now, consider the given number 0.23350

Since, in a decimal number all the trailing zeros are significant.

So, in the number 0.23350 there are five significant figures 2,3,4,5 and 0.

Therefore, there are 5 significant figures in the given number.
