When the last digit of a significant digit is 5, you always round up.
The number whose farthest right significant digit determines it. Whatever place that digit is in is the last significant digit in the sum. For example: 433 + 150 + 3.67 + 8000 = 8586.67, but in sig figs this is only 9000, as the thousands digit is the lowest digit that can be represented.
Zeros appearing anywhere between two non-zero digits are significant. Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant.
It is optional. I prefer reporting " reasonable " digits.
That the last number is 5 means you round the second to last one up. This gives you .0943. However, 3 is the last number now, and that doesn't let one round up. So you are at .094. Four is the last number, and it does not allow you to round up. So you are left with the last two digits of .09, which are the two significant figures.
Significant figures are basically the amount of digits in a number. E.g. 2.576 has 4 significant figures 32.545 has 5 significant figures Zeroes before the first non-zero digit and after the last non-zero digit are not counted as significant figures. E.g. 0067.4 has 3 significant figures 67.400 has 3 significant figures 0067.400 has 3 significant figures. In case of thermometer measurement of normal temperatures maximum three digits are significant because most of the thermometers indicate one digit after decimal; as 37.4.
If the last digit is a 5-9 you round up. Ex: 585 go up to 590. If the last digit is 1-4 you round down ex: 584 go down to 580
when the last digit is 4 or under, round down. "five or above, give it a shove" round up.
As the last digit is a 2, it will round down giving 64 as the answer.
you round up on a number if the last digit is 5 thru 9 you round down if the last digit is 4 thru 1 therefore 31 rounded to the nearest ten is 30
0-4 round down. 5-9 round up. The place of the rounded digit will depend on what place you are rounding to.
If the last digit were between .1 and .4 you would round down to 35. But if the last digit is .5 or higher (between .5 and .9) you round up to 36. So the answer is 36.
We look at the last digit. As it is between 0 and 4, we round down. That gives the answer to be 1760.
Simply cut off the extra numbers while rounding the last digit: 13.0
The last digit is a 3, so the number rounds down, giving 19.62 as the answer.
you round the last digit which is 4 to its nearest unit which goes down to 0, so the answer will become 101.2.
It is 6810 rounded to the nearest ten
Throw it away. That's what rounding means.Before doing so, though, depending on the rounding method you're using you may need to look at it. In general you round the last digit kept down if the next digit is 0-4, and round the last digit kept up if the next digit is 5-9, but there are some fiddly little details that result in a variety of methods.
