Significant Figures- rules - correct answer-1) ALL non-zero numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) are
ALWAYS significant.
2) ALL zeroes between non-zero numbers are ALWAYS significant.
3) ALL zeroes which are SIMULTANEOUSLY to the right of the decimal point AND at the end
of the number are ALWAYS significant.
