What is the solution to the problem rounded to the correct number of significant figures? 8.01 × 4.1 = ? A. 32.8 B. 32.84 C. 32.841 D. 33

Significant figures are defined as the figures that represent the digits of a number which carry an important contribution to the numerical value, starting with the first non-zero digit. For Example: 105.268 has 6 significant figures because every digit carry its own contribution towards the numerical value.

Whenever there is multiplication, the answer will contain the same number of significant figures as there are in the least precise numerical value.

Significant figures in 8.01 are 3 and that in 4.1 are 2.

So, the answer of these two numerical value will contain 2 significant figures.

[tex]8.01\times 4.1=32.841\approx 33[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is Option D.

The correct solution is 33, alternative D.

Rounding off values

To round off values, note the digits to the right of the number, in such a way that:

If the value is less than 5, the left digit remains unchanged, however, if it is greater than 5, the left digit is added to 1.

Thus, in the number given by the question, following this rule we have that the final rounded value is equal to 33.
