Andi performs the calculation that is shown below.

(2.06) (1.743) (1.00)

How should the answer be reported using the correct number of significant figures?

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
