Thanks! It was correct!
To determine the number of significant figures in the product 62.25 * 37.4, you need to consider the rules for significant figures in multiplication.
Rule 1: The number of significant figures in the product should be equal to the smallest number of significant figures in the factors.
Now let's look at the factors:
62.25 has four significant figures (6, 2, 2, 5).
37.4 has three significant figures (3, 7, 4).
According to Rule 1, the product should have three significant figures (since that is the smallest number of significant figures among the factors).
Therefore, the correct answer is b) 3.
So, your answer of B is correct! Well done!
