# The number of significant figures in $0.00060$ m is:

2

##### SOLUTION
According to general rule for significant figures, zeros to the left of a significant figure and not bounded to the left by another significant figure are not significant. So for given number $0.00060$ only 6 and 0 after 6 will be the significant figures. Thus, it has 2 significant figures.
