Rules of Rounding
When rounding to a certain place value (ex: the
tenth) look at the next digit.
48.46
 48.5
• If that digit is 0-4 then leave the number the
same.
• If that digit is 5 or higher then round the
number up one.

Significant Figures Calculations
Preform the operation and round to the correct significant figure
Multiplying and dividing, limit and round to the
least number of significant figures.
Ex: 23.0 x 432 x 19 = 188 784
19 only has 2 significant figures so round answer to 2
significant figures
Answer: 190 000
Adding and subtracting, limit and round your
answer to the least place value.
Ex: 123.25 + 46.0 + 86.257 = 255.507
46.0 is only to the tenths place value so round
answer to the tenths place
Answer: 255.5

Convert Using Metric to English
Conversion Sheet
16 in = 16 x 2.54 = 40.64 cm
62 acres = 62 x 0.40 = 24.80 hectares
57 lb = 57 x 4.45 =253.65 N
Convert Within the Metric System
18 km = 18000 m
496.87 kg = 496870000 mg
0.2 cm = 0.002 m
Convert the Temperature
87 °F = 5/9(87-32) = 5/9(55) = 30.6 °C
-13 °F = 5/9(-13-32) = 5/9(-45) = -25 °C
14 °C = 9/5(14) + 32 = 25.2 + 32 = 57.2 °F
73 °C = 9/5(73) + 32 = 131.4 + 32 = 163.4 °F
