I would say there are NINE significant figures (since there is a .8 after the '0')

From the web:

There are three rules on determining how many significant figures are in a number:

Non-zero digits are always significant.

Any zeros between two significant digits are significant.

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