how many sig figs are in 0.0497000?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify significant - figure rules

Non - zero digits are always significant. Zeros between non - zero digits are significant. Trailing zeros after a decimal point are significant. Leading zeros (zeros before the first non - zero digit) are not significant.

Step2: Analyze the number 0.0497000

The leading zeros (the two zeros before 4) are not significant. The digits 4, 9, 7, and the three trailing zeros after 7 are significant. So there are 5 non - leading digits and 3 trailing zeros after the decimal point, making a total of 6 significant figures.

Answer:

6
