All digits between the first non-zero digit and the last non-zero digits are significant. Some would argue that trailing 0s are significant since they are an indication of the precision of the number.
No. 0.0000123 has three significant digits.
another way to write 0.943 in decimal = 0.9430
11.0 (one decimal and 3 significant figures)
Well . There is a simple easy way to do this . all you have to do is put a 0 on the end of each decimal because REMEMBER it doesn't change the number if you added a zero to the decimal ! so if you ad d the zero's the new numbers would be 2.160 2.150 so now all yo have to do is find the numbers between 50 and 60 ! so two numbers between 2.15 and 2.16 are 2.155 2.156
There is not another name.
True
That is correct.
Yes, 370.0 has four significant figures because zeros between non-zero digits are considered significant.
When they are between two non-zero digits or if there are after the decimal point. For example, the 0 is not significant in 1340 but it is significant in 1304 or 1340.0
Zero is considered a significant digit when it is to the left or the right of the decimal point. It is also a significant digit when it follows a non-zero digit or when it is between two digits.
Yes, in a number like 13.04, both zeros are considered significant digits. The zero to the right of the decimal point in 13.04 is significant as it helps specify the precision of the number. The zero between the 3 and 4 is also significant as it shows that the number is not just 13.4, but 13.04.
There are 4 significant zeros in the measurement 0.000 040 200 m. Zeros between significant digits are considered significant, as well as zeros to the right of the decimal point in a measured quantity.
There are six significant figures in 1009.630 mL. The zeros that follow the decimal point and are trapped between nonzero digits are considered significant.
What is the difference between 6500. and 6500? The first one would be considered to have a terminal decimal. This means that instead of simply writing the number as it is, a decimal is added to the end to represent significant figures (terminal decimals are most commonly used in scientific notation). Therefore, when 6500 would only be considered as to having 2 significant figures, 6500. has 4 significant figures.
It can be.
All nonzero numbers are significant (1, 3, and 7 are significant). Zeros in-between significant digits are significant (the first zero is significant). All zeros after the decimal point that aren't placeholders are significant (last zero is significant).
if between two other digits ex: 3009 or ending zeros when there is a decimal ex: 54.300
