Answer: 3.59
Explanation:
(2.06)(1.743)(1.00)
2.06 × 1.743 × 1.00
= 3.59058
Two of the multiplied digits are represented in 3 significant figures. Therefore, for correct representation, the result of the product should be written to three significant figures.
3.59058 to 3 significant figures:
First three digits = 3.59
Fourth digit '0' is less than 5, and thus rounded to 0 with other succeeding digits
Therefore, (2.06)(1.743)(1.00) to 3 significant figures equals :
3.59
