Question

How many significant figures are in each of the following measured quantity?
Express your answer as an integer.

0.0003303 m

Answer 1

1) = 6 sig figs, zeros in between number count as sig figs

2) = 4 sig figs, zeros immediate to the right of decimal point dont count.

3) = 4 sig figs, zeros immediate to the left of "imaginary decimal point" dont count

4) = 3 sig figs, because when x or / you only count the smalles of the two.

5) = 5 sig figs, The zero to the left of decimal point doesn't count: 0.35 = .35

6) = 5 sig figs. All numbers are significant.
