Answer:

0.0246

Explanation:

When rounding to a certain number of significant figures, the normal rules of rounding numbers apply, except that non-significant digits to the left of the decimal are replaced with zero. The three significant figures would be the numbers that are not zero, meaning the 2, the 4, and the 6, would be the three significant figures in 0.024561.

I hope this helps :)
