    The number of significant figures are counted by,

    non-zeros are significant

    Zeros in between non-zeros are significant.

    Zeros after the decimal and non zeros are significant.

    a. 300000000m/s = 1 significant figure

    b. 3.00x10 (8th power) = 3 significant figures

    c. 25.030*c = 4 significant figures

    d. 0.006070 * c = 5 significant figures

    e. 1.004 J = 4 significant figures

    f. 1.30520 MHz = 5 significant figures

    The number of significant figures are based on the rules: non-zeros are significant Zeros in between non-zeros are also significant. Trailing zeros are considered not significant. Zeros after the decimal and non zeros are significant.

    a. 1

    b. 3

    c. 5

    d. 4

    e. 4

    f. 6
