P3.5
Level
AS

Show calculations and justified precision

Display each calculation step, carry sensible precision through working and round the final result to match the data.

Include units and explain any conversion, percentage, rate or significant-figure decision.

A rate calculated from a change in oxygen volume over time should show the subtraction, time interval, division and final unit.

More decimal places do not create more accuracy; calculator output must be checked against measurement precision.
