### Problem Statement The correct answer (reported to the proper number of significant figures) to the following is _________. 7.3 × 4.68 = _______ ### Multiple Choice Options - **34.16** (Selected) - 34 - 34.0 - 34.2 - 34.164 ### Explanation This question asks for the product of 7.3 and 4.68, rounded to the correct number of significant figures. In multiplication, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the fewest significant figures. - **7.3** has 2 significant figures. - **4.68** has 3 significant figures. Thus, the answer should be reported with 2 significant figures, matching the least number of significant figures in the given numbers. The correct answer, rounded to 2 significant figures, is **34**. However, the option with **34.16** is initially selected, which matches to a greater level of precision than required.
