Answer 2

Answer:

3

Explanation:

We are given that an expression

$62.25\times 37.4$

We have to find that how many significant figures in the product.

Significant figures in 37.4 are three

Significant figures in 62.25 are four.

Product of 62.25 and 37.4

$62.25\times 37.4=2328.15$

We know that significant rule in multiplication:

The least significant figures of any number will determine the significant figure of the product.

We see 37.4 have three significant figures then product should have three significant figures.

Hence,$62.25\times 37.4=2330$ have 3 significant figures because zeroes on right side after non zero digits are not significant.
