How many significant digits are in the number 50.00?

Answer 1

1 1 .There are 6 rules for Significant figures.(SF). Non zero digits count as sf. Ex 34.5=3 Sf and 4367=4 Sf. 2. Leading zeros never count Ex 0.34= 2 Sf and 0.00399 = 3 sf 3. Zeros between sf count ex 405=3sf and .0402=3 sf and 20000.1=6 sf 4.IF a number shows a decimal point ending zeros count. Ex 25.0=3 sf and 10.0= 3 sf and 0.004500=4 sf 5. If a number does not show a decimal point, ending zeros dont count. Ex 500=1 sf and 25000 = 2 sf and 10= 1 sf 6. If a number is written is correct scientific notation, then all digits in fornt of (x10) count. Ex 2.4x10^5 = 2 sf and 3.00x10^8 = 3sf

Answer 2

Four

There are 4 significant digits. If zeros are specified at the end to the right of the decimal point, then they are significant. If the number was 5.000 x 101, then it would be 4 as well. If it were just 50, then there would be 1 significant digit.

However, if the zeros to the right are there for conventional reasons (for example to denote 50 units of currency), then it could be 2 or even 1 sig digits.
