1032.46

This might not look like two figure but after the first zero, the others become edundant when wounding to two sig. figs. As the 32 in 1032 is nearer to 1000 than 1100 the answer is 1000.
Basically, giving to significant figures involves rounding so that only a certain number of numbers are shown:
1032.456 is to 7 significant figures
1032.46 is to 6 significant figures
1032.5 is to 5 significant figures
1033 is to 4 significant figures
1030 is to 3 significant figures
1000 is to 2 significant figures. It is also to 1 significant figure!
I have found a website that can do it for you! However, it does it in scientific notation!
10x10raised to 2 or 1.0x10raised to3
1000
Take the two first numbers after the first zero (there aren't any so .) and round the third. 3 rounds down so the answer's 1000. (*^_^*)
Definitely 1000, which as the above says, doesn't look like 2 sig fig because of the first zero, but it is part of the original number. Ignore those who tell you zero can't be a sig fig, they're talking ca-ca. Someone up there showed 1032.46 which is the correct answer to the question "what is 1032.456 to 2 DECIMAL PLACES". These are very different.
Creambunny is right. It is basically a trick question. The two significant figures have to be together, so what it really means is - what are the two most significant figures? But you have to fill in the other places with zeros for padding.

1000 - It just means use the first two digits and replace the rest of the numbers with 0.
1000 is correct
