NOTE: To propagate uncertainty when multiplying or dividing two measurements, count the number of significant figures in each. Your result should be reported to the number of significant figures in the measurement having the lesser number of significant figures.

Rounding a number to N significant figures is similar to rounding to N digits after the decimal point, except that we start counting from the beginning of the number. For example, 71.25150 rounded to three significant figures is 71.3, to four is 71.25, and to one is 70. (If the N + 1 digit is 5 followed by nothing or by zeros only, use the 'round half to even' tiebreaking rule).

Rounding a number to N significant figures is similar to rounding to N digits after the decimal point, except that we start counting from the beginning of the number. For example, 71.25150 rounded to three significant figures is 71.3, to four is 71.25, and to one is 70. (If the N + 1 digit is 5 followed by nothing or by zeros only, use the 'round half to even' tiebreaking rule).

Rounding a number to N significant figures is similar to rounding to N digits after the decimal point, except that we start counting from the beginning of the number. For example, 71.25150 rounded to three significant figures is 71.3, to four is 71.25, and to one is 70. (If the N + 1 digit is 5 followed by nothing or by zeros only, use the 'round half to even' tiebreaking rule).

A hydraulic scale with a precision of +/- 4000 grams measures a mass of 127000 grams and a tape measure with a precision of +/- 0.0004 meters reads 0.0004 meters when measuring a distance. You divide the first value by the second value with a calculator and get the solution 317500000.000000000000. Round this solution using the correct level of precision.
A. 300000000 grams/meter
B. 317500000.0 grams/meter
C. 317500000 grams/meter

NOTE: To propagate uncertainty when multiplying or dividing two measurements, count the number of significant figures in each. Your result should be reported to the number of significant figures in the measurement having the lesser number of significant figures. Note that 'significant figures' are different than 'decimal places'; see rules at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Significant_figures&oldid=1114415444#Identifying_significant_figures .
