Which of the following is the most reasonable compatible number to round to when dividing 37.512 by 8?

You can round to 40, cuz 40/8 = 5.
You can round to 32, cuz 32/8 = 4 but this isn't as good because it is farther from the actual number.

If you consider significant figures, you must keep all decimals for the result and add another zero on the end to boot.
Ans. 4.6890
It would be interesting to see what your book claims is the best answer.
