Multiply the following three numbers and report your answer to the correct number of significant figures: 0.020 cm x 50 cm x 11.1 cm = ?

Group of answer choices

11 cm3

10 cm3

11.1 cm3

11.0 cm3

11.10 cm3

10 cm^3

which agrees with the second option listed

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by finding the number of significant figures of each of the values to be multiplied:

0.020 cm has TWO significant figures

50 cm has ONE significant figure

11.1 cm has THREE significant figures

So, recalling the rule for multiplication: "The result of a product of quantities should have the same number of significant figures as the measured value with the least number of significant figures", we conclude that whatever value we get for answer, it should be rounded to ONE significant figure, which is our least number of significant figures for this case>

Performing the indicated operation we get mathematically : 11.1  cm^3, which rounded to one significant figure becomes: 10 cm^3
