What would 0.038851 be rounded to if it needed to retain 3 significant figs

0.0389

What is the results of 1.0-0.093 including sig figs ?

0.9

Rules to determine which number is reported as significant or not

1) any nonzero digit is significant. 956 - all 3 are significant 2) any zeros between nonzero are significant. 9006 - all 4 are significant 3) zero at the end of a number without a decimal are not significant; they serve only to put the significant numbers in the correct position. 890000- first 2 digits are significant. However zeros at the end of any number with a decimal point are significant 890000. - now all 6 are significant 4) zeros at the beginning of a decimal are not significant 0.00000076 - last 2 are significant 0.0000007600 - now the last 4 are significant
