What is the specific significant digits in 0.0098?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.00900 has 3 significant figures, "9", "0", and "0". The significant figures are shown in bold. This is true because:

-All non-zero digits are significant (the nine)

-All zeroes trailing the first non-zero digits are NOT significant (the first three zeroes)

-If a number has a decimal point, all zeroes AFTER the last non-zero digit are significant (the last two zeroes). Therefore, it has 3 significant digits.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, the significant digits in 0.0098 are 2. See, the zeros before the 9 don't count because they're just placeholders. So, you're left with the 9 and the 8, making it a grand total of 2 significant digits. Like, who knew math could be so chill, right?

Answer 3

Three

Significant Figures

à Non-zero numbers are always significant figures.

à Zeros are tricky:

- If zeros appear before a non-zero (called leading zeros), they are NEVER significant (ex: 0.025)

- If zeros fall between non-zero numbers, they are ALWAYS significant (ex: 205)

- If zeros come at the end of the number, they WILL be significant only IF there is a decimal present (ex: 250.0)

à Exact numbers (or counting numbers) have infinite significant figures. For example, if we count 3 pencils, we know there are exactly 3 pencils. Or, when we say 1 inch = 2.54 cm, we know this is for exactly 1 inch.

Answer 4

0.0098 has two significant digits, 9 and 8.

Answer 5

3 significant figures.
