Round 984 liters to 2 significant digits.

Round 984 liters to 2 significant digits.

  • A. \( 1.00 \times 10^{3} \) liters
  • B. 1000 liters
  • C. 900 liters
  • D. 980 liters

Step-by-step solution

To round 984 liters to 2 significant digits, we consider the first two digits (9 and 8) and look at the third digit (4). Since 4 is less than 5, we round down, giving 980 liters. 980 has two significant digits (9 and 8) when written without a decimal point, as the trailing zero is a placeholder. Option D correctly reflects this rounding.
