I agree with the above comments, but also it's easier to learn on youtube for a few reasons. I can always rewind (unlike in a live lecture), but I also love how JG's tutorials are hands on and have u practicing the problems instead of just reading from a 📖

When rounding a decimal number to the ones position, do you keep the decimal point or drop the decimal point? I think you keep it but just double-checking

[@Ripsie]

It doesn’t matter since it will be the same amount of significant figures regardless

[@hvaceng7057]

@Ripsie but what if the ones position has a zero and the tens position is less than 5, so it will remain a zero? then you will lose significance of that digit without a decimal.
