2. We use the conversion formulas:
Mass To Nearest
1. The problem states that the mass of a toy is 2.2 kilograms to the nearest 0.1 kg.
2. This means the actual mass $m$ lies within the range where rounding to the nearest 0.1 kg gi
Significant Figures
1. The problem is to find the number of significant figures in the number 050701080.
2. Significant figures are the digits in a number that carry meaning contributing to its precis
Bus Scale Height
1. The problem states that a scale model of a bus is 60 cm tall and the scale ratio is 2 : 15.
2. This means that 2 units on the model correspond to 15 units in real life.
Unit Conversions
