1. **State the problem:** Find the exact value of $$3675 \times 15 \div 16$$ and then round it to (a) the nearest 100, (b) 3 decimal places, and (c) 3 significant figures.
2. **Calculate the exact value:**
$$3675 \times 15 = 55125$$
$$55125 \div 16 = 3445.3125$$
3. **(a) Round to the nearest 100:**
The hundreds digit is 4, and the tens digit is 4 (less than 5), so we round down:
$$3445.3125 \approx 3400$$
4. **(b) Round to 3 decimal places:**
Look at the fourth decimal place (1), which is less than 5, so we keep the third decimal place as is:
$$3445.3125 \approx 3445.313$$
5. **(c) Round to 3 significant figures:**
The first three significant digits are 3, 4, and 4. The next digit is 5, so we round up the last significant digit:
$$3445.3125 \approx 3450$$
**Final answers:**
- Exact value: $$3445.3125$$
- Nearest 100: $$3400$$
- 3 decimal places: $$3445.313$$
- 3 significant figures: $$3450$$
