<u>Answer:</u> The given statement is true.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Significant figures are defined as the figures that are present in a number. It expresses the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy.

There are some rules to detect the significant figures in a number:

  • All digits ranging from 1 to 9 are always considered significant.
  • Every non-zero number is always considered significant. For example, 274, 2.74, and 27.4 all have three significant figures.
  • All zero’s that are present between the integers is always considered significant. For example, 5007, 5.007, and 50.07 all have four significant figures.
  • All zero’s preceding the first integer is never considered significant. For example, 0.0089 has two significant figures.
  • All zeros that are present after the decimal point are always significant. For example, 4.800, 48.00, and 480.0 all have four significant figures.

<u>Rule applied when numbers are added or subtracted:</u>

The number having less number of significant figures after the decimal point will determine the number of significant figures in the final answer.

Hence, the given statement is true.
