Ok...do you have an idea of which one you think it is?

anonymous · Answer

4.5. But can you please explain the concept? Is it as simple as I think it is?

shane_b · Answer

If you're rounding it to 2 significant digits then you want to keep the two most significant digits...which in this case is X.X.  In this case you're basically just rounding the ".46" to ".5".

Maybe it will help if we did the same thing for the value 4.432...rounded to 2 significant digits.  That adjusted value of that would be "4.4" since the ".432" rounded to 1 digit is just ".4".

If it's still confusing you let me know and we can work through some more examples
