Q12.

Answer 1

Answer: b). 3

Explanation:

every real number is a sig fig (1-9)

Any zeros after real numbers behind the decimal are sig figs (0.340 = 3 sig figs)

Any zeros in between real numbers are sig figs (3402 = 4 sig figs)

If there is a clear decimal, every number in front of it are sig figs (100. = 3 sig figs) - this can also be expressed by a line above the zeros
