U know the rules of significant figures?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sauravshakya no

OpenStudy (eyust707):

Therein lies the problem. =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1) ALL non-zero numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) are ALWAYS significant. 2) ALL zeroes between non-zero numbers are ALWAYS significant. 3) ALL zeroes which are SIMULTANEOUSLY to the right of the decimal point AND at the end of the number are ALWAYS significant. 4) ALL zeroes which are to the left of a written decimal point and are in a number >= 10 are ALWAYS significant.
