Concept

To determine the number of significant figures in a number use the following 3 rules:

1. Non-zero digits are always significant.

2. Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.

3. A final zero or trailing zeros in the decimal portion ONLY are significant.

For the given question we have the number: 18.03

There are 4 significant figures

Hence, the number 18.03 does not have 3 significant figures

Answer: False
