Because it displays an accurate mathematical answer.When you have a decimal the first place after the whole number stands for tenths of the second hundredths of the third stands for thousands of . so that number could stand for five and three thousands of an inch, foot, meter, ect.

What is 2 in decimal form?
2 in decimal form is 2. You can add as many zeros after the decimal as you want. It does not change the value of two. Meh, or 2.0!
Convert binary number 100110 to decimal?
42 count the zeros and use like this. 1 and 5 zeros, is 2^5 = 36 1 and 2 zeros, 4 = 40 10 is 2, so 42
How many significant digits does 0.00100 have?
three, leading zeros are not significant and trailing zeros are significant if there is a decimal. trailing zeros are not significant if there is no decimal zeros in the middle of numbers are significant
If an answer is 4.00 what do the zeros indicate?
The two zeros after the decimal point indicate that the answer is correct to two decimal places.
When you multiply by 100 you move the decimal how many places to the right?
2 because 100 has 2 zeros in it
If there are 3 zeros in 1000 to multiply move the decimal 2 places to the rite or left?
move it 2 the rite
When you have a decimal can you take of the zeros if they are in front of the decimal?
You can, for example 0.009 is the same as .009. I have been taught to put a zero before the decimal but it depends. To be safe i would put a zero before the decimal. 000.009 you could take 2 zeros off the beginning but leave one. Hope this helps!
Zeros are always considered significant digits when they are to the right of the decimal point and when they are between the decimal point and another digit as in 13.04?
False, Zeros are only significant digits when there is a primary number such as 1 before the as in 3200, then two zeros are counted but if zeros are before as in 0.032 than the only digits counted are 3 and 2.
How do you produce an irrational number with no zeros in it?
The number sqrt(2) has no zeros in it, only the digit 2!If you mean that the decimal representation has no 2 in it, you could create an infinite decimal fraction by selecting, at random, a digit from the set {1,2,3,...,9}. Clearly it cannot have a 0 in it and, thanks to the randomness, it will be irrational.
In significant figures which zeros are not considered significant?
Leading zeros and trailing zeros in numbers that don't have a decimal point.
How many of the zeros in the measurement 0.000 040 200 m are significant?
