question 12 of 17
how many sig figs are in 5030.0
3
4
5

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.

Answer:

4
