Answer 1

The answer is: 0.00563 mg = 5.63 μg

Step-by-step explanation:

Significant figures of a number are the figures or digits that carry meaning and contributes to the precision of the given number.

The given quantity 0.00563 mg, has three significant figures as all the leading zeros are not significant.
