Chapter 1.5, Problem 1.13P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number 1.2735 should be rounded off to two significant figures.

Concept Introduction:

Significant figures are used to express the degree of accuracy of an answer. The rules for identifying significant figures are as follows:

  • Non-zero digits are considered as significant figures. (1 to 9)
  • Zeros between non-zero digits are considered as significant figures. (for example, 2008 has four significant figures.)
  • Zeros that are left to the decimal are not considered as significant figures. (for example, 0000.28 has two significant figures.)
  • On the right side of the decimal place, zeros between decimal and non-zero digits are not considered as significant figures. (for example, 0.0028 has two significant figures.)
  • On the right side of the decimal place, zeros after the non-zero digits are considered as significant figures. (0.28000 has five significant figures.)

The rules for rounding off numbers are as follows:

  • If the figure after the decimal is less than 5, then the digit remains unchanged.
  • If the figure after the decimal is greater than 5 or equal to 5, then 1 is added to the tenths place.
  • If the figure after the decimal is even, then the digit remains unchanged.
  • If the figure after the decimal is odd, then 1 is added to the tenths place.
