Significant figures (HELP)

OpenStudy (idkwut):

(568.99 - 232.1) / 5.7 I know that the answer is 59.10 but I want to know how many significant figures are there in the end? I remember my math teacher telling me that the numbers in the original equation will affect how many significant figures there are in the final answer.

OpenStudy (idkwut):

Will there be four significant figures then? or does the number in the equations affect how many significant figures there are?

(Sorry, it's been a long time since I learned this. I'm actually just helping someone. Quick review.)

OpenStudy (zale101):

|dw:1421465412957:dw| \(\Large \frac{336.9}{5.7}\), 5.7 has only 2 SF, that means the answer should be in 2 SF
