Answer:

Non-zero digits are always significant.

Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.

A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant. If a number ends in zeros to the right of the decimal point, those zeros are significant.

Explanation:

1.138 has 4 significant figures, which are 1, 1, 3 and 8. The numbers after the decimal point are decimals and are significant figures.
