Question

What is 3,482 to two significant figures?

Answer 1

Rounding off to significant figures is the same as rounding off to nearest 10's, 100's or decimal places and or whole numbers.

Answer: Look at the last two digits.

scenario 1: If last two digits are 50 or greater than 50,then add +1 to the hundredth digit and remove last two digits. making them 00.

scenario 2: If the last two digits are less than 50 then no change in the hundredth digit. No change, but make the last two digits 00.

I hope you understand, how this is similar to rounding off.

Your question:

In 3,482 : last two digits are 82. 82 is more than 50, so the last two will turn 00 and +1 will be added.

So, number increases and becomes 3500.
