1. For multiplication and division), we first compare the number of significant figure (let's call it SF later in the problem) that the factors have. The product will have the least numbers between them. So, for the case of 11.55 x 2.5, 11.55 has 4 SF while 2.5 has 2. So we choose the smallest which is 2 for this case. Hence, the answer is B.
2. Using the same rules as mentioned in Item 1, we first compare the number of SF in the numbers give. 975.0321 has 7 SF while 0.0003 has 1 (all zeroes not following a counting number are not significant). We now solve for the quotient and round it off to 1 SF.
(975.0321/0.0003) = 3250107. Rounding it off, we have 3000000 or 3 x 10⁶. Thus, the answer is D.
3. The rules for multiplication still apply even for more than two factors. So, let's first take note of the SF present in each factor as shown below.
0.00147 = 3 SF
8.314 = 4 SF
7.100 = 4 SF (zeroes after a counting number in the decimal place are considered significant)
From this, we can see that the product must round off to 3 SF. Multiplying the three numbers, we have
0.00147 x 8.314 x 7.100 = 0.086773218
So, the product rounded off to 3 SF is 0.0868 or 8.68 x 10⁻². So, the answer must be C<span>.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of an adult ticket to the show is $5.5
The cost of a student ticket to the show is $4.25
A family is purchasing 2 adult tickets and 3 student tickets. This means that the total cost of 2 adult tickets would be
2 × 5.5 = $11
It also means that the total cost of 3 student tickets would be
3 × 4.25 = $12.75
The total cost of 2 adult tickets and 3 student tickets would be
11 + 12.75 = $23.75
If the family pays $25, the exact amount of change they should receive is
25 - 23.75 = $1.25
P = 8/v
1/2 = 8/v
multiply v on both sides
1/2 v = 8
multiply 2/1 on both sides (the reciprocal of (1/2)
v = 16
