It depends on the precision of your ruler. It's usually recommended that you guess one digit after the precision of your ruler.

So if you have a meter stick with millimeters as the smallest measurement, try to guess to 10ths of a millimeter.

The number of significant figures depends on the size of your measurement. If it is less than 1 millimeter, you would only have one significant figure. For every order of magnitude greater, you would have one more significant figure.
