what is the product of 11.24 and 1.9501 written with the correct number of significant figures?
a) 21.9
b) 21.92
c) 21.9180
d) 21.918
e) 22

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the product

$$11.24\times1.9501 = 21.918124$$

Step2: Determine significant figures

The number \(11.24\) has 4 significant figures, and \(1.9501\) has 5 significant figures. When multiplying, the result should be rounded to the least number of significant figures among the factors. So, we round to 4 significant figures.
Rounding \(21.918124\) to 4 significant figures: \(21.92\)

Answer:

B. \(21.92\)
