What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures? 15.11 + (142 × 16.5) = ? A. 2,358 B. 2,358.1 C. 2,360 D. 2,400

Respuesta :

The answer is A. 2,358

Answer : The correct option is, (A) 2358

Step by step explanation :

Significant figure : It is defined as the minimum number of digit us needed to express a number in scientific notation.

[tex]15.11+(142\times 16.5)[/tex]

First we have to multiply the given digits as per rule.

[tex]=15.11+2343[/tex]

Now we will add both the digits, we get

[tex]=2358.11[/tex]

As per given expression, we conclude that the number of significant figure is 4. So, the answer will be, 2358

Hence, the correct option is, (A) 2358
