In the introduction to this book (Dec 2021), fuel in the final answer should be rounded up.
On working through this exercise I note that the rounding is undertaken at an intermediary step.
While my answers are approximately the same, which is the correct method?
Example 2:
204min from A to B (65% power) + 60 min holding at B (35% power)
204/60*28=95.2G
If rounded now to 96G (96*1.1) +15 + 3 +17.2=140.8G or 141g
If rounded later (95.2*1.1) +15 + 3 +17.2=139.9G or 140g
Is the difference significant for a correct exam answer?
Thanks

Thank you for the prompt reply.

Yes, I have read that advice - I was seeking clarification.

Your advice states "If there is any decimal place in the [b]final answer[/b] the answer should be rounded up"

However the worked example performs the rounding at an intermediary step.

It is this, that I am seeking clarification for.

Thanks
