you do not always have to put it there, but some teachers want you to. hope this helped. No. Not unless there is another real (1-9) number to the left of the zero. If, or instance, your number is 0.45 only the 4 and 5 are significant. But, if you have 70.45 then the zero IS significant.
9.0 has two significant figures. A significant figure is any non-zero digit or any embedded or trailing zero. Leading zeros are not significant.
0.003 has one significant figure. A significant figure is any non-zero digit or any embedded or trailing zero. Leading zeros are not significant.
40.00 has four significant figures. A significant figure is any non-zero digit or any embedded or trailing zero. Leading zeros are not significant.
1.500 has four significant figures. A significant figure is any non-zero digit or any embedded or trailing zero. Leading zeros are not significant.
Any non-zero digit, if it appears in the decimal representation of a number, is significant. A zero is significant if it is not a leading zero.
01.046
Depends on the place the 'zero' is in a given number. '10' Zero is significant ificiant 010 The prefix zero is insignificant. 10.01 Both zeroes are significant 10.010 The suffix zero in insignificant
0.50
7 of them. We're not exactly sure what that number is, but if it starts with a non-zero number and ends with a non-zero number, then everything's significant.
1.0070 has 5 significant figures. This is because when you are looking at a number with a decimal number, you start from the left and find a non-zero number. When you find the non-zero number, every number after it is significant.
1.200 has the greatest number of significant figures (four). 12000 has two significant figures. A significant figure is any non-zero digit or any embedded or trailing zero. Leading zeros are not significant.
When it is left of an integer and right of a decimal number
There are four sig figs. Non zero numbers are significant and zeros between non-zero number are also significant :)
All of them are significant in this case. A zero, or group of zeros, between non-zero digits is always significant.
Because this number does not have a decimal point, to count significant digits, we start at the right and start counting from the first non zero number. The first non zero number is 6 and this number has 4 significant digits.
