Answer:

One

Step-by-step explanation:

Trailing zeros in a number are not significant unless they follow a decimal point.

If you want to specify a different number of significant figures, you can use a decimal point.

For example,

2.0 × 10³ = two significant figures

2.00 × 10³ = three significant figures

2.000 × 10³ = four significant figure

2000. = four significant figures
