Biology
1 answer:
ryzh [129]3 years ago
7 0
An embolus is anything which travels through the blood vessels until it reaches a vessel that is too small to let it pass through, and this causes the blood flow to stop.    Basically, a thrombus is the blood clot itself, and the embolus is a fraction of the blood clot which travels through the blood vessels.

Round the number 14.587020 to 4 significant digits. a. 14.59 b. 14.58 c. 14.587 d. 15.00 Please select the best answer from the
gregori [183]

Answer:

A. 14.59

Explanation:

Firstly, rounding a number means making a number simpler but keeping its value close. So rounding 14.587020 means making it look less complex but making sure the rounded value is within range of the original value.

Next, we have to know that to round a number;

* Digits below 5 (<5) rounds down the next digit to their left i.e. we leave the digits the same and turn the rounding digit to 0.

* Digits above 5 (>5) rounds up the next digit to the left i.e. we add 1 to the next digit

Next, to round to 4 significant digits means we want to see only the first four non-zero digits in our value. Note that, all non-zero digits i.e. 1-9 are significant

Hence, 14.587020 will be:

= 14.587020

= 14.58700

= 14.59000

We have four (4) digits which are non-zero already, hence we stop here and remove all zeros to the right

Hence, 14.587020 to 4 significant digits is 14.59 i.e. 14.587020 ~ 14.59
