Step-by-step explanation:

see,after third decimal place ,if the digit is greater than or equal to 5

then consider next number

hence it became 9.1

Answer 2

Answer w/ explanation:

The answer is 9.1

To round to 2 significant figures, we have to find the first significant figure. We find the first sig fig by looking for the first nonzero digit in the number (it can be before or after the decimal point), which is "9"

The next digit is "0". This will also be a significant figure in our answer.

It may seem we are done now since we found the two significant figures. However, let's look at the digit after "0" to see if we need to round up or down.

The digit after "0" is "7". Since 7 is greater than 5, we round up the "0" to a "1" in our final answer, making the answer 9.1

Side note:

The definition and concept of significant figures can be very confusing overall, so please continue to ask questions if you are still struggling with them.
