To determine the correct number of significant digits in the answer, we need to consider the given numbers in the problem.
Numerator:
8.91 has three significant digits
0.0271 has three significant digits
0.2 has one significant digit
Denominator:
0.0056 has two significant digits
2.341 has four significant digits
To find the significant digit in the numerator, we multiply the given numbers together:
8.91 * 0.0271 * 0.2 = 0.04854972
To divide the numerator by the denominator:
0.04854972 / (0.0056 * 2.341) = 3.682790422
Since the least number of significant digits in the original numbers is one, the answer should be rounded to one significant digit. Therefore, the correct answer is:
3.7
