What is limited by the smallest division on the scale of measuring tool?
Significant Figures
How many significant figures should each measurement have?
That depends on your goals AND on your measuring capabilities.
How do you encorportate significant figures when measuring the number of drops of water?
The answer depends on whether you are measuring the drops from a slow drip or the number of drops of water in an ocean!
How many significant figures does 20.2 have?
3 significant figures.
How many significant figures are in 50.000?
5 significant figures.
Significant figures are digits read directly from the measuring instrument plus one more digit which is by the observer?
Estimated

What determines the number of significant figures used in reporting measured values?
The degree of accuracy of the measuring instrument.
How is least count related to significant figures?
The least count of a measuring instrument is the smallest value that can be measured with the instrument. It determines the precision of the measurement. Significant figures, on the other hand, are the digits in a number that carry meaning about the precision of the measurement. The number of significant figures in a measurement is related to the least count of the instrument used to make that measurement.
How many significant figures are in the measurement of the keyword "length"?
The measurement of the keyword "length" typically has an infinite number of significant figures, as it can vary in precision depending on the context and measuring instrument used.
How many significant figures are in your measurements of length and of width?
The significant figures in a measurement of length and width depend on the precision of the measuring instrument used. Unless specified otherwise, we typically use the number of markings on the measuring instrument to determine the significant figures.
What is limited by the smallest division on the scale of measuring tool?
Significant Figures
What do significant figures tell about an instrument?
They tell you what level of precision you can expect from measurements that are made using that instrument.
How many significant figures are in temperatures?
Significant figures are basically the amount of digits in a number. E.g. 2.576 has 4 significant figures 32.545 has 5 significant figures Zeroes before the first non-zero digit and after the last non-zero digit are not counted as significant figures. E.g. 0067.4 has 3 significant figures 67.400 has 3 significant figures 0067.400 has 3 significant figures. In case of thermometer measurement of normal temperatures maximum three digits are significant because most of the thermometers indicate one digit after decimal; as 37.4.
How many significant figures should each measurement have?
That depends on your goals AND on your measuring capabilities.
What concludes the number of significant figures that should be maintain in recording the measurement?
The number of significant figures in a measurement is determined by the precision of the measuring instrument. Include all certain digits plus one uncertain digit (estimated or interpolated). Nonzero digits, zeros between nonzero digits, and trailing zeros in numbers containing a decimal point are considered significant.
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.
