  • Rounding with Significant Figures

_________________ 33) Round 68.45 to 3 significant figures

_________________ 34) Round 0.005043 to 1 significant figure

_________________ 35) Round 103.6780 to 5 significant figures

_________________ 36) Round 3550 to 2 significant figures

_________________ 37) Round 0.60081 to 3 significant figures

  • Operations with Significant Figures
    • Remember the Significant figure rules are different for addition/subtraction and multiplication/division.
      • Addition/Subtraction - Answer is reported to the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the least number of decimal places.
      • Multiplication/Division - Answer is reported to the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the least number of sig. figs.

Consider all of the following values to represent measurements. Typically, these types of values will be accompanied by the unit of measure. We will ignore units for now to avoid confusion.
