SIGNIFICANT FIGURES AND CALCULATIONS Rules for Counting Significant Figures Nonzero integers. Nonzero integers are always significant. Zeros. There are three classes of zeros: Leading zeros are zeros that precede all the nonzero digits. These do not count as significant figures. Example: 0.0025 m has only _____ significant figures. Captive zeros are zeros between nonzero digits. These always count as significant figures. Example: 1.008 m has _______ significant figures. Trailing zeros are zeros at the right end of a number. They are significant only if the measurement contains a decimal point. Examples: 100 m has only ______ significant figure. 100. m has ______ significant figures 1.00 x 103 has ______ significant figures. 3. Exact Numbers Many times calculations involve numbers that were not obtained using measuring devices but were determined by counting. For example, 10 experiments, 3 apples, 8 books. Such numbers are called exact numbers. They can be assumed to have an infinite number of significant figures. Rules for Significant Figures in Mathematical Operations For multiplication or division, the number of significant figures in the result is the same as the number in the least precise measurement used in the calculation. Example: 4.56 x 1.4 = _____________ For addition or subtraction, the result has the same number of decimal places as the least precise measurement used in the calculation. Example: 12.11 + 18.0 + 1.013 + 31.123 = _____________ MORE PRACTICE!

EXAMPLES: How many micrometers are in 2.60 kilometers? It takes, including over ingredients, exactly 1 egg to make 8 pancakes. A pancake eating contest was held and the winner ate 74 pancakes in 6.0 minutes. At this rate, how many eggs (in the pancakes) would have been eaten by the winner in 1.5 hours?
