This means basically if i measure the temperature of a city and it comes out to be 22.9 degrees. I will round it of to 30 degrees or the amount of significant figures i am designated with.
Similarly if its 22.85 and i have to round of to 3 significant figures it becomes 22.9 degrees.
ROunding off is obviously done watching to which digit we have to.
For example, if I scored 97.9 points on a math test, I could round it up to 98. Or, if I scored 92.1 points, then I could round it down to 92. In both cases, the real math scores (both of which are decimals) are replaced by different, whole numbers.
