How many significant figures are justified in a measurement of a length that is between 9 and 10 centimeters if the measuring device ruler has smallest divisions of 0.1 cm?
You would need to record to the 0.1 cm, then estimate the next significant figure. So you should have a measurement to the 0.01 cm.
How would you record a measurement of 16490 grams using only 2 significant figures?
The rule when rounding off numbers is "If the first figure to be discarded is 5 or more then the previous figure is increased by 1". When 16490 is rounded off to 2 significant figures then the first figure to be discarded is 4. As this is less than 5 then the previous figure (6) is not increased by 1. 16490 to 2 significant figures is 16000.
