Plete the following problems significant figures: 6 × 0.30
​

6= Only the digits 1 and 6 are the actual measured values. Therefore we have only 2 significant figures.

0.3= Zeros used as placeholders are not significant. Zeros that come before non-zero integers are never significant. Example 5: The zeros in 098, 0.3, and 0.000000000389 are not significant because they are all in front of non-zero integers. c. If the zeros come after non-zero integers and are followed by a decimal point, the zeros are significant.
