Because, to two significant figures, the value of 2,974894956..... is rounded off to 3,0The question was posed with three significant figures so you could argue that the answer should be 2,97.
The rounded value is 10. See also the links below. * * * * * However, there is no such thing as the correct number of significant figures (sf). SF depends on the context as well as the SF of the numbers used to compute the value.
Five significant figures.
There are five significant figures in the given value. It is according to the rule of significant figures which say that zeros right to the decimal point are significant and all non zero digits are significant So , all the digits in the given value are significant figures i.e 5 significant figures.
As trailing zeros after a decimal point are not normally written, for them to be written means they must have significance, so 4.270000 has 7 significant figures (it may have been rounded from 4.2699995 to 7 sig fig). 4.27 (the same value) would only have 3 sig fig.
When the value 4,449 is rounded to two significant figures the number should be reported as 4,400
1,782,739 rounded to four significant figures is 1,783,000.
1470
1050 contains 4 significant digits and cannot be rounded to two significant figures without changing the value of the number.
That depends on the context in which it is found, or the calculation(s) involved. It should have no more significant figures than the value with the least number of sig. figs.
9,682 rounded to three significant figures is 9,680.
Because, to two significant figures, the value of 2,974894956..... is rounded off to 3,0The question was posed with three significant figures so you could argue that the answer should be 2,97.
If you are rounding a 4 digit number to 3 significant figures, then you're rounding to the nearest ten. The 4th digit is 7, so since this digit is >= 5, you should round up the 3rd digit. 1467 becomes 1470. In scientific notation you would express this as 1.47 x 103 to make it clear that there are only 3 significant figures.

The value 10.00 has _____ significant figures.
it would be 12440 ya tard stick
But according to the rules of significant figures, the least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer which, in this case, would be 11.
