For three significant digits, this number has to be rounded at the ones place. So if you look at the number after the ones place (8), you see that you need to round up. The final answer is 45.0 - the zero after the decimal is significant.

To round 44.981 to 3 significant figures, you would look at the third significant figure, which is the 8. Since the digit following 8 is 1, which is less than 5, you keep the 8 the same. Therefore, rounding 44.981 to 3 significant figures gives you 45.0.
