Question

Round off 3. 55 to one significant figure

Answer 1

Answer:

3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first clarify how a number is rounded.

To round a number to unity we have to look at the first number after the comma.

If this number is less than 5 (1, 2, 3, 4) we should not do anything, but if that number is 5 or greater (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) we must add a unit to the number.

That is to say:

<5 do nothing

=> 5 round to the next number (+1)

So in the case of 3.55 it would be.

3.55 = 3.6
