question 12 of 17\nhow many sig figs are in 5030.0\n3\n4\n5
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Define significant figures rules
Non - zero digits are always significant. Zeros between non - zero digits are significant. Trailing zeros after a decimal point are significant.
Step2: Analyze the number 5030.0
The digit 5 is significant. The 0 between 5 and 3 is significant. The digit 3 is significant. The trailing 0 after the decimal point is significant and the 0 before the decimal point (but after non - zero digits) is also significant. So there are 4 significant figures.
