wow, you’re doing sig figs in algebra? im learning it for the first time this year in chemistry. I can give you the 4 rules my teacher gave us..and hope it helps..

1) 0’s in the middle of 2 significant digits ARE sig figs.

EX: 1005 – there are 4 sig figs.

2) 0’s at the end of a number BEFORE the decimal ARE NOT sig figs (unless the number after the decimal is not zero)

EX: 100 – there is 1 sig fig

3) 0’s after the decimal an before a number ARE NOT sig figs

EX: 0.00045 – there are 2 sig figs

4) 0’s after the decimal and at the end of the number are sig figs.

EX. 0.00421700 0 there are 6 sig figs.

Hope that helps a little

the guidelines for sig figs for addition and subtraction is the least style of DECIMAL places. consequently, on account that 21.8 has purely a million decimal place, your answer ought to have a million decimal place. 30.2
