Answer 2

Round 627 to one significant figure: First digit is 6, next digit 2 (<5), so round down to 600.

To round the number 627 to one significant figure, follow these steps:

1. Identify the first significant digit. In 627, it's '6'.

2. Check the next digit (2 in this case) to determine rounding.

3. Since 2 is less than 5, we round down.

4. Thus, '6' stays the same, and subsequent digits become zero.

5. The final rounded number is 600.

This process ensures that 627, rounded to one significant figure, is accurately represented as 600, maintaining the most significant part of the number while simplifying it for purposes where detailed precision is less critical.
