Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The number given is3.681076. We need to rewrite this number with3 significant figures (sig figs)

STEP 2

To rewrite a number with a specific number of significant figures, we need to keep the first few digits that match the number of significant figures required, and round the next digit.

STEP 3

In this case, we need3 significant figures, so we keep the first three digits (3.68) and look at the fourth digit (1).

STEP 4

If the fourth digit is or more, we round up the third digit. If it's less than, we leave the third digit as it is.

STEP 5

Here, the fourth digit is1, which is less than5. So, we leave the third digit as it is.

STEP 6

Therefore, the number3.681076 rewritten with3 significant figures is3.68.
