How many significant figures are there in the measurement 64,000 mg? A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5 (Possibly A but idk)

Shadow:

There are five since any non-zero figures in a value are significant figures as well as any zeroes after the decimal point.

mhchen:

WOAH hold up. Shadow's logic was right but since \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Shadow any non-zero figures in a value are significant figures \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) That means there's two and not five.

Shadow:

"any zeroes after the decimal point."

mhchen:

yeah but there's no decimal point here

Shadow:

Oh was blind

Shadow:

Yeah it's two not five

Shadow:

Mal87:

Shadow:
