Answer:

0.019 has 2 significant figures


0.680 has 3 significant figures

Explanation:


3.201 has 4 significant figures

We start counting from the first significant number which is 3.

We need to count the zero as well because it appears after a significant number.



0.019 has 2 significant figures

We start counting from the first significant number which is 1.



0.680 has 3 significant figures.


The first significant number here is 6.
