Significant figures in the "Right answer" for the Number type answer #97

Description

@dbauer-ets

Regarding the statement "The correct answer is: {$a}" for the Number answer type, it may be useful to allow the number of significant digits to be specified for the value of {$a} . Indeed, if the answer is calculated as being equal to for example 2.039023427152, the automatic feedback will be displayed like this "The correct answer is: 2.039023427152", which is probably not desirable. The feedback "The correct answer is: 2.04", for example with three significant figures, is probably more adequate. However, presently this cannot be displayed with the "Right answer" review option.
