Answer:
5 significant figures
Step-by-step explanation:
- Zeros that come before any non-zero digits are never significant.
- Zeros that are in between any non-zero digits are always significant.
- Zeros that come after any non-zero digit are ONLY significant if a decimal point in present somewhere in the number. (In this case there is a decimal point, but there aren't any zeros at the end of this number.)
I have underlined the significant figures in this number:
3 8 5 . 0 1
