Question

0.0904 has 4 significant figures. State whether true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Decimal is disregarded while finding the number of significant figures.

Thus, for the sake of finding the number of significant figures, we can write the given decimal number as 00904.

We also know that the zeroes before the first numerical are not considered.

Thus, we are left with 904

This means that the number of significant figures is 3.

Thus, the given statement in the question is false.
