Significant Figures is the third significant figure. Look at 4 th figure it’s < 5, so don’t change the 6. Make everything else zeros 3 sig figs is the third significant figure because the 0 in front is a place holder. look at the next digit. It’s < 5, so leave the 8. Leave off all other numbers 3 sig figs.0368

Significant Figures is the third significant figure. The zeroes are significant, because it lies between two non-zero digits. The digit behind the 0 is 5 or more, so round the 0 to a 1 and make all other places zeroes. 3 sig figs – is the third significant figure. Look at the next digit. It is 5 or more, so round the 3 to a 4. Leave off all other numbers. 3 sig figs.204

Significant Figures is the third significant figure. Look at the next digit. It is 5 or more, so round the 9 to a 0 and the 8 to a 9. Leave off all other numbers. 3 sig figs – 19.0
