There would be five. The only time you do not count figures as significant is if they are zeroes behind a decimal, but before any other figure.

0.000501 only has three significant figures, while 1.000501 has seven.

What is significant figures of a number?

The significant figures are the ones which convey meaningful information about the measurement beyond the magnitude. Saying that a sample weighs .0000039 grams is better stated as 3.9 x 10^-6 grams or perhaps 3.9 micrograms. That's two significant figures. All the zeroes are not significant.

How would you record a measurement of 16490 grams using only 2 significant figures?

The rule when rounding off numbers is "If the first figure to be discarded is 5 or more then the previous figure is increased by 1". When 16490 is rounded off to 2 significant figures then the first figure to be discarded is 4. As this is less than 5 then the previous figure (6) is not increased by 1. 16490 to 2 significant figures is 16000.

How many significant figures should you report for an object weighing exactly 15 grams?

When reporting a measurement of 15 grams, it has two significant figures, as both digits (1 and 5) are non-zero and contribute to its precision. Since the number is presented without any decimal point, it implies that the measurement is exact to the nearest whole gram. Therefore, you should report the weight of the object as having two significant figures.
