Rounding Off Numbers
• Often when calculations are performed extra digits are present in the results.
• It is necessary to drop these extra digits so as to express the answer to the correct number of significant figures.
• When digits are dropped the value of the last digit retained is determined by a process known as rounding off numbers.
![Page 22: 1. 2 Measurement and Significant Figures 3 Measurements Experiments are performed. Numerical values or data are obtained from these measurements](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d4d5503460f94a2ba04/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

• In the SI system the standard unit of volume is the cubic meter (m3).
• The liter (L) and milliliter (mL) are the standard units of volume used in most chemical laboratories. 1 mL = 1 cm3 = 1cc
• Volume is the amount of space occupied by matter.
