OTQ Question

MMaria9y ago
Hi Cath, Can you tell me how many decimals I have to take when the number of decimals to be taken is not specified in the question, while doing workings for OTQ questions, to get the right rounded answer. maria

Hi, Generally the rules about rounding is to keep working figures in your calculator memory (with all decimal places). This means that any figures that are used as workings towards the final answer should be entered in full length decimal form. You can then round the final answer at the end as required. Hope that helps.
