Answer:

2.30×10³

10.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The rules for significant digits are:

  • Non-zero digits are always significant.
  • Zeros between significant digits are also significant.
  • Trailing zeros are significant only after a decimal point.

To write 2300.2 in three significant figures, you'll have to write it in scientific notation.

2.30×10³

To write 10.26730 in three significant figures, simply round to the tenths place.

10.3
