How many significant figures should the product 62.25 x 37.5 have?

You have to be very careful when you use significant figures (sig. figs.). In biology, you want 2 sig figs. In math, maybe 2 or 3 sig figs (depends on the question) If you are even off by a decimal, your answer is wrong. Significant figures are a special type of rounding, rounding where I only take certain decimal places into account (and the rest are garbage). You could do all of this in a calculator and then count how many decimals you want.

EXPLANATION
IN MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION WE ROUND OFF AT LEAST SIGNIFICANT FIGURES (EXAMPLE) IN THE ORIGINAL EXAMPLE SO IT'D BE 4.11/1.3= 3.425 SO THE ANSWER WOULD BE 3.4
