Question

Choose the number of significant figures 60.0

Answer 1

Answer:

3 significant figures

Explanation:

The rules for deciding which digits in a measurement are significant are as follows:

1) All nonzero digits are significant.

2) Sandwiched (or embedded) zeros, those between significant digits, are significant.

3) Leading zeros, which are zeros at the beginning of a decimal number less than 1, are not significant.

4) Trailing zeros, which are zeros at the end of a number, are significant only if the number has a decimal point.

By rule 4 since 60.0 has a decimal point all 3 figures are significant

Answer 2

 

In this case there are 3 significant figures.

Any zeroes after another number, (i.e. 9300.000), you consider these numbers.  

If there is something like 0.0060, this would be two significant digits.  

Zeroes before a number are not significant, anything after are.  

Hope this helps any confusion!
