You should only include zeros after the decimal point if the scale is accurate to the number of zeros you include.
For example, if a scale is accurate to 1/100th of a gram, and an object weighs exactly 2 grams, it's correct to list the weight as 2.00 grams.
However, if the scale is only accurate to 1 gram, then you should list the weight of the object as 2 grams. Adding extra zeros implies accuracy that does not exist. With such a scale, your object could weigh anything between 1.50 and 2.49 grams and the scale would always show 2 grams.

three, leading zeros are not significant and trailing zeros are significant if there is a decimal. trailing zeros are not significant if there is no decimal zeros in the middle of numbers are significant
Include zeros in 2.25 million?
Million is the name given to a number with 7 digits in front of the decimal place. In order to write out any number take the number you are given and and move the decimal place to the right until you have 7 digits in front of the decimal. add zeros to the end until it has 7 digits in front of the decimal place. So 2.25 million would be 2,250,000.
