If the question requires you to do so. For example, leave your answer to 3 Significant figures . And your answer is a 35. So when they say leave it to 3 significant figure, you write it as 35.0. But most of the time, you don't need the 0 after the decimal.

What is 0.000000800 in scientific notation?

8.0 x 10-7To write this in standard form we need to have one digit (not a 0) in front of the decimal point. We can do this here by moving the decimal point 7 places to the right. As we are moving the decimal point 7 places to the right we are making the number 107 times as large. Therefore we need to multiply by 10-7 to get back to the original number.

What is 15.072 rounded two decimal places?

Do you know what a decimal place is? You need to know the theory first. The decimal point is represented by a full stop between 5 and 0 in this number. Rounding is the practise of simplifying numbers to their nearest common number (specified in the question, to the nearest 10/100 etc...). In this example the second decimal place is the 7, you need to simplify to this point by rounding its neighbours to the right to their nearest 10... I.E. the 2 rounds to 0. &lt;5 rounds to 0, &gt; or equal to 5 rounds to 10. Your answer is 15.07.
