Rounding guide

Hey Guys,

I've recently started studying performance and I'm getting answers within 1 or 2 kg of the answers in the book due to rounding. I'm certain that I'm doing the questions correctly and i have been saving all rounding until the end for accuracy.

Someone on the PPE website said there was a rounding guide in the front of the PERF book for all formulas? I can't find it anywhere?! Is this because it's in the latest version of the book? I have the 2017 edition.

Thanks

Suggest two tacks you might take -

(a) run some forum searches on the question as there are numerous threads on this general subject

(b) post one of your typical question solutions and we can comment on what you are doing, specifically, and whether that might be good, bad, or indifferent.
