Just one of them between 5 and 1
The number 0.600 has three significant figures. All non-zero numbers are always significant. Leading zeroes are never significant, and trailing zeroes that follow a decimal point are always significant.
All of them.All zeroes between non-zero digits are significant.All zeroes after a decimal point are significant.
Answer is 1 Sig Fig. You count the "1" as a Significant Figure, and the trailing zeroes are not considered Sig Figs.
There are 4 significant figures. If a number has a decimal point with some zeroes, we count the total number of digits. Therefore, we count four significant figures.
1. All non-zero digits are significant. For example, 295 has three significant figures. 2. Leading zeroes in front of a decimal are not significant. For example 0.295 has three significant figures. 3. Zeroes between other significant figures are significant. For example 2095 has four significant figures. 4. Trailing zeroes after a decimal are significant. For example 295.0 has four significant figures. And 2950 has three significant figures because the trailing zero does not occur after a decimal.
3. Any number that is not a 0 is a significant number. Rules for Significant Figures: 1. Non-zero numbers are always significant. (example: 1-9) 2. Zeroes between non-zeroes are always significant. (ex: the zero in 908 is significant) 3. All final zeroes to the far right of the decimal place are significant. (ex: the zeroes in 34.0 and 7.0 is significant) 4. Zeroes that act as place holders are not significant. (ex: the zeroes in 600 are not significant) 5. Zeroes before a decimal act as place holders and are not significant. (ex. the zero in 0.12 is not significant)
8. Trailing zeroes after a decimal are significant.
One. The leading zeroes are not significant.
3 The leading zeroes are not significant.
Four. The leading zeroes are not significant.
0.007001 has four significant figures. The leading zeroes are not significant. The zeroes between the 7 and 1 are significant because they are between two significant figures (7 and 1).
5 (zeroes before the number don't count, zeroes after the number do)
three The leading zeroes are not significant.
Four. The trailing zeroes are not significant because there is no decimal.
5 sig figs! Zeroes in between numbers count. And zeroes after the decimal place because they signify exactness. But if it is a whole number like: 900, the zeroes would not be counted as significant.
4. The zeroes to the left are not significant, the zero to the right, is.
5 As the zeroes are to the right of the decimal point, they too are significant
