3.

When counting significant figures, ignore the 0s that show up before a number more than 0.

If, for example, a number is 0.03067, then there are 4 significant figures, because the first two 0s are ignored but the 0 after 3 is counted!

Sorry if my explanation is difficult to comprehend haha. Please do ask if you’re still unsure
