Answer:

There are 4 significant figures.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Any zeros that come before any non-zero number are never significant.

  • Zeros that are in between any non-zero numbers are always significant.

  • Zeros that come after any non-zero are ONLY significant is there is a decimal point present. (In this case, there is.)

The significant figures are underlined :

0 . 0 9 0 5 0
