Question

Zeros between a decimal point and a non zero number are _______ significant

Answer 1

Answer:

not significant.

Explanation:

The rules of the significant digits are described below as:

• All the digits which are non-zeros they are classified as significant. Example 123 has three significant digits.

• The zero which is  present in between two non zero digits are significant. Example 404 has 3 significant digits.

• The zeros which are leading in any number are classified as not significant. Example 0.0032 has only 2 significant digits and it can be defined that the zeros in between a non zero digit and a decimal point are classified as not significant.

• Trailing zero to the right in the decimal is significant. Example 3.0 has 2 significant digits.

• Trailing zero in the whole number without any decimal are not significant. Example 500 has only one significant digit.

Therefore, by the third point it can be say that the zeroes between a non zero number and a decimal point are not significant.

Answer 2

Zeros between a decimal point and a non zero number are insignificant.
