Multiplication and Division
Round the answer to the same number of significant figures (sig figs) as the measurement with the fewest sig figs in the problem.
34.9cm x 4.7cm = 164.03cm2 = 160cm2 (rounded to two sig figs)
271.0g/99.8cm3 = 2.71543g/cm3 = 2.715 (rounded to four sig figs)
Addition and Subtraction
Round the answer to the fewest decimal places as the measurement with the fewest decimal places.
9.45kg + 8.329kg = 17.78kg (rounded to two decimal places)
Rounding Rules:
If the number to be dropped is less than four, keep the number in front the same. 3.43 would be rounded to 3.4 .
If the number to be dropped is greater than five, round the number in front up by 1. 3.46 would be rounded to 3.5 .
If the number to be dropped is exactly five, keep the number in front the same if it is even. If the number in front is odd, round up by 1.
4.65 rounds to 4.6 .
4.75 rounds to 4.8 .
88930371.007 to 2 significant figures is 89000000
0.036 The significant figures are indicated by the square brackets 0.0[35550], so we round this part of the figure.
It depends on how many significant digits you want to round it off to.
what is the round off of 124.36?
93
6.71 is 6.7050 is rounded to three significant figures.
