Exercise 2
If the digit following the last Round off the following
significant figure is greater measurements to two (2)
than 5, the number is rounded significant figures.
up to the next higher digit.
9.47
If it is less than 5, the number
9.43
is rounded to the present value
of the last significant figure. 8.65
If the last digit is a 5, the 8.75
number is rounded off to the
nearest even digit. 8.55
