Answer 1

Answer :  The answer will be, 2.56

Explanation :

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

The rule apply for the multiplication and division is :

The least number of significant figures in any number of the problem determines the number of significant figures in the answer.

As we are given that the quotient of 8.01 grams divided by 3.127 grams. That means,

$\frac{8.01g}{3.127g}$

$\Rightarrow 2.56$

In the given expression, 8.01 has 3 significant figures and 3.127 has 4 significant figures. From this we conclude that 3 is the least significant figures in this problem. So, the answer should be in 3 significant figures.

Thus, the answer will be 2.56
