How many significant figures can be recorded in the measurement of the fluid in the graduated cylinder?

The number of significant figures recorded in a measurement depends on the precision of the graduated cylinder and the measurement technique. Typically, you can record one additional digit beyond the smallest marked increment on the cylinder. For example, if the smallest increment is 1 mL, you could estimate the fluid level to the nearest 0.1 mL, allowing for three significant figures in a measurement of, say, 25.4 mL. Always consider the precision of your measuring tool to determine the appropriate number of significant figures.
