Q: How many significant figures are in the number 5000?
Solution:
5000 has 1 significant figure unless specified with a decimal point (e.g., 5000. has 4).
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what significant figures are. Significant figures are the digits in a number that contribute to its precision.
Step 2: Look at the number 5000. It has four digits: 5, 0, 0, and 0.
Step 3: Determine if the zeros are significant. In the number 5000, the zeros are not considered significant because there is no decimal point.
Step 4: Conclude that 5000 has only 1 significant figure, which is the digit 5.
Step 5: Note that if there was a decimal point (e.g., 5000.), all four digits would be significant.
