Question 1 Report

Express 2.7864 x 10-3 to 2 significant figures
Answer Details
To express 2.7864 x 10-3 to 2 significant figures, we need to round off the number to the second significant digit from the left. Since the first significant digit is 2, and the second significant digit is 7, we will look at the third digit, which is 8. Since 8 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the second significant digit (7) by 1. Therefore, the number becomes 0.0028. So, the answer is 0.0028.
