Question

Round of 0.016668correct to three significant figures

Answer 1

0.0167

Since the decimal is present, start from the left side of the number and move to the right until you hit the first Non-Zero number. That number will be the first significant figure, and the number you will start counting from. That’s the first, the second is next, and lastly the third. You round the LAST significant figure, in this case a 6 followed by a 6, meaning you round UP.
