Non-zero digits are always significant, so the number 12 has two significant figures.
2 significant figures.
3 significant figures. (The zero after the 5 doesn't count.) 4 significant figures if the zero after the 5 does count. A good way of expressing three thousand four hundred fifty with three, four, or five significant figures is with scientific notation: 3.45 * 103 3.450 * 103 3.4500 * 103
Significant figures are used to receive a more accurate number. To obtain the number you you multiply or divide the quantities, leave as many significant figures in the answer as there are in the quantity with the least number or significant figures. If adding or subtracting quantities, leave the same number of decimal places in the answer as there are in the quantity with the least number of decimal places
Three - all non-zero numbers are significant.
2. sig figures, because there is not a sig. fig in front of a dot. 100% Yes - all the zeroes to the left of the 3 can be neglected. There are 5 decimal places but only 2 significant figures.
12 significant figures.
There are two significant figures in the number 12.
All 3 of them.
there are 2 significant figures in 12 eggs in a carton because it has only 12 eggs it is only tens but if it like 12,000,001 it has 8 significant figures...
12 of them.
Two of them.
The real answer is 33.443 but since 12 is the number with the least significant figures your answer will be 33
12 has two significant figures. A significant figure is any non-zero digit or any embedded or trailing zero. Leading zeros are not significant.

How many significant figures are in 20.8
The numbers 12, 10, 20.5, and 1.00 have different significant figures: 12 and 10 each have two significant figures, 20.5 has three significant figures, and 1.00 has four significant figures. When ordered from least to greatest number of significant figures, the sequence is 12 (2), 10 (2), 20.5 (3), and 1.00 (4). Thus, the order from least to greatest is: 12, 10, 20.5, 1.00.
It depends upon how you got to the 12, for example: 28.6 - 16.6 = 12.0 Because each of the numbers that was used to get to the 12 had 3 significant figures, you should write the 12 with three significant figures also. However: 29 - 17 = 12 In this case, each of the numbers that was used to get to 12 had only 2 significant figures, so use only 2 significant figures in the 12.
