There is only one significant figure which is the 7. When zeros are placed before a number, they are not considered significant figures.
The number 20.0 has three significant figures. The zeros at the end of the number after the decimal point are considered significant because they are placeholders to indicate the precision of the measurement. Therefore, all digits in 20.0 are significant.
The number 0.00038 has two significant figures. Significant figures are digits that carry meaning contributing to the precision of a number. In this case, the zeros before the 3 and 8 are not considered significant because they are leading zeros that simply indicate the decimal's placement. The 3 and 8 are the significant figures in this number.
There are only one significant figure in the number 20000. Significant figures are the digits in a number that carry meaning contributing to its precision. In this case, the zeros in 20000 are not considered significant because they are serving as placeholders to indicate the magnitude of the number rather than its precision.
