Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 2.00.

Explanation:

• When multiplying or dividing numbers with different significant figures, the result we obtain should contain as many significant figures as the number involved in the calculation with the least number of significant figures.
• In this question, the significant figures of each number are:

1. 0.9996 - 5 significant figures
2. 3.52 - 3 significant figures
3. 1.758 - 4 significant figures

• The smallest significant figure is 3, so the answer should be rounded off to 3 significant figures.

Calculation:

$\frac{0.9996*3.52}{1.758}$

= $\frac{3.518592}{1.758}$

= 2.0014744027303

By rounding off to 3 significant places we get:

2.00

Conclusion:

The correct answer is 2.00.
