Question

My teacher took 0.5 points off my answer when I rounded 1.375 to 1.4, 2 sig. fig. She said the answer was 1.5. Is this correct? I'm pretty sure I got the answer right, but can someone clarify?

maybe you wrote the wrong thing or she made a mistake.

show it to your parents or another teacher for correction and to help you convince your teacher

Answer 2

Explanation:

Yes, I'm pretty sure this is correct. 1.5 is definitely not it. You round it so you only have two digits. 5 you can round up so 1.38 and eight too, so: 1.4. It's not 1.5.
