One mile is equal to 1,760 yards, so a mile is longer than 850 yards.
850 yards has (at least) two significant digits so that measure has greater precision(trailing zeros - when there is no decimal point are always difficult to determine if they are significant or not)850 has two or three significant figures850,0 has unequivocally four significant figures
