Round the value 3472 off to 2 significant digits.

Options

A35
B3400
C3470
D3500

Correct answer

D. 3500

Step-by-step solution

The given number is 3472 . To round off to 2 significant digits, we consider the first two digits, which are 3 and 4 . The third digit is 7 , which is greater than 5 . According to the rules of rounding off, the preceding digit 4 is increased by 1 to become 5 . The remaining digits are replaced by zeros to maintain the magnitude of the number. Therefore, 3472 rounded off to 2 significant digits is 3500 .
