Given the number:
9,000,500
Determine the number of significant figures.
Explanation:
The number of significant figures can be counted by the number of non-zero values, and zero values which are in between non-zero values. For zeros that are not in between non-zero values, they are classified to be non-significant figures. In our case, we have 2 non-zero values, and 3 zeros in between the two non-zeros, therefore, we have 5 significant figures.
Final answer:
5 significant figures.
