Answer 2

Hi!

I can help you with joy!

Remember that

* Zeros in the beginning of decimals are not significant figures.

For example, 0.021 has only 2 significant figures: 2 and 1.

* Zeros in the end of decimals are significant.

For example, 2.100 has 4 significant digits.

Now, let's round 0.02852 to 3 significant digits.

Right now it has 4.

Recall the Rounding Rules:

• If the number you are rounding is followed by a number less than 5, you round down.
• If the number you are rounding is followed by a number greater than or equal to 5, you round up.

`\text{5 is followed by a number less than 5, so we round down.}`

`\text{0.02852 Round down: 0.0285 (Answer)}`

Hope it helps!

Enjoy your day!
