When to Apply Sig Figs [ENDORSED]

[Gina_Chiarolla_3C]

For all problems in general, should we be using the number of sig figs that the problem requires throughout the problem? Or should we be using all sig figs until the end of the problem and then a cut down or round to the correct about of sig figs at the end of the problem?

[Aditya Mamtora 2C]

To maintain the most accurate results, we should only round off our sig figs at the end of the problem.

Also, to check if you have the right amount of sig figs, you can look at the number of sig figs that the problem started with.
