how many sig figs are in 2600 and why?
-
two because theres no decimal. only the 2 and 6 are significant. the two zeros arent.
-
2600 has 2 significant figures
2610 has 3
2601 has 4
2600.1 has 5
2600.151607 has 10
basically, if there is a zero on the end don't count it in the number of significant figures and then all the rest of the units are significant figures :)

Renee is correct. I find it very interesting that someone would give a thumbs down to a very good answer. Give her 10 points!!!
