Answer 1

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Answer 2

There are 3 significant figures in the number 0.00666. They are each of the non-zero number 6's. The zero's before a number are not significant. The zeroes AFTER a number ARE significant. 


For example:

0.006660 has four significant figures because there is a zero after nonzeroes. 

0.00666 only has three significant figures because the zeros before a significant figure are not significant.
