The statement is false.
This is false. (I got this question on my test.)
the decimal place in the quotient or product should be based in the decimal place of the given with the least significant figures
When adding or subtracting numbers, the result should have the same number of decimal places as the least number of decimal places in the original numbers. This is because in these operations, you are limited by the least precise measurement. Significance figures don't matter in addition or subtraction, only decimal places.
4 significant figures.Zeros are significant if they are between two non-zero numbers, or if they are "trailing" zeros in a number with a decimal point.Eg.0.000047 = 2 significant figures4.7000 = 5 significant figures
The precision of a measurement can be determined by the number of significant figures or decimal places in the measured value. A measurement with more significant figures or decimal places is considered more precise. Additionally, repeated measurements that yield similar results indicate a higher level of precision.
There are three. The 4, the 5 and the zero in between. The two last zeros serve only to properly space the decimal point which, in this number, is implied.
The number 0.0102030 has 6 significant figures. Each of the non-zero numerals (3 of those), the zeros between the non-zero numbers (2), and the zero on the end of the number if it is right of the decimal (1). The significant figures are in bold:0.0102030
