Ok, I'm having some trouble with rounding off. Can you please help me with this question? Mary's height is 1.51m, measured correct to 3 significant figures. Find the least possible value of Mary's height.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.505m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And how did you do that? O.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

logically, because if it is rounded to 3 sf, probably the 4th figure will show it....so, i just assumed it, i dont know how to explain..maybe its like this 1.51m---->if it is rounded to 3sf, then the values can be 1.514 or 1.505 (highest and lowest) so the lowest possible value would be 1.505!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay! Thank you! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem... u completed all the past papers of o level?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. Not yet. O.o
