The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of multiplying 1.2 and 36.72 and determining the number of significant figures in the result, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Numbers and Their Significant Figures:** - The first number is **1.2**. This has **2 significant figures**. - The second number is **36.72**. This has **4 significant figures**. 2. **Perform the Multiplication:** - Multiply the two numbers: \[ 1.2 \times 36.72 = 44.064 \] 3. **Determine the Least Number of Significant Figures:** - From the two numbers, the one with the least significant figures is **1.2**, which has **2 significant figures**. 4. **Round the Result to the Least Number of Significant Figures:** - The result of the multiplication is **44.064**. Since we need to round this to **2 significant figures**, we look at the first two digits (44) and the next digit (0) to decide how to round. - Since the next digit (0) is less than 5, we do not round up. 5. **Final Answer:** - Therefore, when rounded to 2 significant figures, the result is **44**. ### Summary: The final answer is **44** when rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures. ---
