<h3>Answer: Choice A) 212 square meters</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

14.10 has four sig figs. The 0 at the end is significant. This measurement is accurate to the hundredths place. If the author wrote 14.1, then it would be accurate to the tenths place with three sig figs.

15.0 has three sig figs. The 0 is significant. If they wrote 15 or 15. then we'd be dealing with 2 sig figs instead; however they placed the 0 there to tell the reader "this measurement is accurate to the tenths place"

---------------------

Multiply the values given

14.10*15.0 = 211.5

Round that to three sig figs. We pick the smaller sig fig count to round to since we cannot be certain it is accurate to four sig figs. In a sense, we pick the weakest link and use that to determine rounding when it comes to multiplication and division.

This means 211.5 rounds to 212

Round 45.983 to the nearest whole number, tenth and hundredth.
Nady [450]

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

if you round to the nearest whole, look at the tenths place and if it is bigger than 4, then then you round up, like 7043.7305 to 7044 but if the tenths place is smaller than 5, the number stays the same but the decimal part is gone, like 350.24569405 to 350.

Sasha shared 20 muesli bars with three friends.
mestny [16]

Answer: Sasha has 20 bars to start of with. Let's assume Sasha keeps 6 bars for herself. The problem says Sasha has twice as many bars as Hanna, so Hanna HAS to have 3 bars. The problem says Kyle got 3 more bars than Hanna, so 3+3=6, and Hannah got 2 less bars than Noah.. Noah has to have bars because 5-3=2

Sasha 6, Kyle 6, Noah 5, Hanna 3= 6+6+5+3=20
