1 significant figure.
The rule when rounding off numbers is "If the first figure to be discarded is 5 or more then the previous figure is increased by 1". As the answer only requires 2 significant figure then the first figure to be discarded is the units digit of 1. As this is not 5 or more then the previous figure (5) remains unchanged. 151.208 to 2 sf = 150 NOTE : Zeros are kept to show the position of the decimal point or to indicate that zero is a significant figure.
to 1 significant digit: 8000 2 significant digits: 7700 3 significant digits: 7660 4 significant digits: 7656. 5 significant digits: 7656.0 6 significant digits: 7656.00 and so on and so forth for forever..........
