To determine the number of significant digits in the result of the operation ( (40200.0 \times 0.000240) - 2.778 ), we first evaluate the multiplication. The term ( 40200.0 ) has 6 significant digits, and ( 0.000240 ) has 3 significant digits, so the product will have 3 significant digits (the least in the multiplication). When subtracting ( 2.778 ) (which has 4 significant digits), the final result should be reported to the least precise decimal place of the subtraction, which is determined by the number with the least decimal places (in this case, ( 2.778 ) has 3 decimal places). Therefore, the final result will have 3 significant digits.
Five. All nonzero digits are significant and zeros in between significant digits are significant.
Five. All nonzero digits are significant and zeros in between significant digits are always significant.
