β 10y agoFalse, Zeros are only significant digits when there is a primary number such as 1 before the as in 3200, then two zeros are counted but if zeros are before as in 0.032 than the only digits counted are 3 and 2.

β 11y agoYes, 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.
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).
There are 3 significant digits in 4.00 and 2 significant digits in 7.0. Zeros between non-zero digits or at the end of a number after a decimal point are considered significant.
Three significant figures. The zeros at the end are considered significant when they're after the decimal point.
True
That is correct.
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.
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.
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).
The measurement of 417.32 g has five significant figures. Each non-zero digit and any zeros between them are considered significant in a decimal number.
