Here are the rules:
1. All non-zero digits are significant. Example: '123.45' has five significant figures: 1,2,3,4 and 5.
2. Zeros appearing in between two non-zero digits are significant. Example: '101.12' has five significant figures: 1,0,1,1,2.
3. All zeros appearing to the right of the decimal point or nonzeros appearing to the right of a decimal after the decimal point are significant. Example: '12.2300' has six significant figures: 1,2,2,3,0 and 0. The number '0.00122300' still only has six significant figures (the zeros before the '1' are not significant).
Therefore 0.011 has only 2 sig figs
