Question: Round off the following numbers to three significant figures: (a) 58 342 m, (b) 68.534 s, (c) 2553 N, and (d) 7555 kg. Answer: (a) Write the number which is stated in question. N=358342 m Convert the given number from m to km as follows: N =58342m 10% km m = 58.342 km As the number after 3 is less than 5 (here which is 4) so, it can be rounded as 58.3 km. Therefore, the required 3 significant number is : (b) Write the number which is stated in question. N = 68.534 s As the number after 5 is less than 5 (here which is 3) so, it can be rounded as 68.5 s. [sess], Therefore, the required 3 significant number is > (c)
