- (a) 7.66
- (b) 0.00208
- (c) 9438
- (d) 0.000344
(a)
Given Info: Number is
Explanation:
Significant figures are system of expressing measured numbers properly. Significant figures method involves the accuracy of measurement and mathematical operations.
Rules for rounding:
(1)
If the first digit on the right to be dropped is less than 5, then leave the preceding digit as is.
(2)
If the first digit to be dropped is 5 or greater, then increase the preceding digit by one
(b)
(c)
