Significant Figures

Question

Indicate whether the zero(es) in the number would be classified as leading, interior, or trailing; then whether the zero(es) is significant; and how many significant numbers are present in the number.

 

Question 15.     6

 

My answer:

 

zero is not significant

1 significant number

 

But is the zero interior, exterior, or leading? Should the number be thought of as 06, and then the zero would be leading?

 

Thank you!

Answer 1

Non-zero digits are significant
