Best Answer

with 0.2, the 2 digit is in the tenths (1/10) place

with 0.020, the 2 digit is in the hundredths place (1/100),

the trailing zero digit in the thousandths place in (0.020) does not change the

value of 0.02, but it is a significant digit.

This would be like asking "are 2.0 and 20 equal?"
