Answer:
2.6 = 2 significant figures
0.260 = 3 significant figures
0.002600 = 4 significant figures
2.6000 = 5 significant figures
Explanation:
- Significant figures are the number of digits that add to the correctness of a value, frequently a measurement.
- Any two non-zero digits that are separated by a zero are important.
- For instance, the number 108.0097 has seven significant digits.
- Every zero that is both to the right and left of a non-zero digit and the decimal point is never meaningful.
- For instance, the number 0.00798 had three significant digits.
Rules for significant figures:
- Every integer that is not zero IS important.
- Zeros in the intervals between two non-zero digits ARE important.
- Leading zeros don't matter at all.
- Right after the decimal, the trailing zeros ARE important.
- The last two digits of a whole number with a decimal representation are important.
