Is a Car's Speed of 110km/h Accurate to 3 or 4 Significant Figures?

In summary, the safest thing to do is stick to the number of figures given in the question, which is 3. If you feel that you must use 4 because calculations come up like that then work with that but give 3 in your final answer.

This is getting boring. How do you represent 1.80±0.02?
You have done it !
