How is precision related to the significant figures in a measured quantity?
The greater the number of significant figures, the greater the precision. Each significant figure increases the precision by a factor of ten. For example pi = 3.14 is accurate to 3 significant figures, while pi = 3.14159 with 6 significant figures is a more accurate representation.
Is the unit of a number have importance in significant figures?
No, the units are independent of the accuracy. If you are measuring volume, how accurate the measurement is (or isn't) will not affect what you are measuring - it will always be volume.
