Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a little guide as to when zeros are significant digits.

Zeros ARE significant digits when they are at the end of a number with a decimal point.

Zeros ARE significant digits when they are in the middle of two nonzero numbers.

Zeros are NOT significant digits when they are at the beginning of a number.

Hope this helps! :)
