The number 76.85 is rounded off up to two significant figures as_____________?

Correct answer: B. 77

  • A. 76.8
  • B. 77
  • C. 76.9
  • D. None of these

Explanation

To round 76.85 to two significant figures, retain 7 and 6 and inspect the next digit, 8. Since 8 is at least 5, 6 rounds up to 7, giving 77. Students may choose 76.9 by rounding to three significant figures instead of two.

About Displacement and Velocity

Displacement is the directed change in position, while velocity is the rate of change of displacement and includes both magnitude and direction. The topic connects position-time and velocity-time graphs with average and instantaneous values, and distinguishes displacement from distance and velocity from speed.
