Step-by-step explanation:

To round to a significant figure:

  1. look at the first non-zero digit if rounding to one significant figure
  2. look at the digit after the first non-zero digit if rounding to two significant figures
  3. draw a vertical line after the place value digit that is required
  4. look at the next digit
  5. if it's 5 or more, increase the previous digit by one
  6. if it's 4 or less, keep the previous digit the same
  7. fill any spaces to the right of the line with zeros, stopping at the decimal point if there is one

Hope it will help you.....
