Answer 1

The Huntington Hill Method is used to round numbers based on significant figures. Following the rules for rounding, each of the given figures can be rounded to the specified number of significant figures.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Huntington Hill Method is used to round numbers based on the concept of significant figures. To round numbers, you need to count the number of significant figures and then round according to the rules. The rules for rounding are as follows:

1. If the digit to the right of the last significant figure is less than 5, round down. If it's greater than or equal to 5, round up.
2. If the digit to the right of the last significant figure is 5 and there are no digits to the right of it or the digits to the right are zeros, round up.
3. If the digit to the right of the last significant figure is 5 and there are non-zero digits to the right of it, round to the nearest even number.

Using these rules, let's round each of the figures given:

• a.) 3.003 rounds to 3.00
• f.) 8.498 rounds to 8.50
• b.) 5.398 rounds to 5.40
• g.) 2.424 rounds to 2.42
• c.) 17.777 rounds to 17.8
• h.) 6.411 rounds to 6.41
• d.) 9.56 rounds to 9.56
• i.) 24.465 rounds to 24.5
• e.) 0.423 rounds to 0.423
• j.) 49.997 rounds to 50.0
