Answer:

1.2 ( two significant digits)

Step-by-step explanation:

5.4 - 4.21 answer should only have the the number of significant digits as the number in the equation with the least number of significant digits... in this case 5.4 is only two significant digits....so the answer should only have two significant digits

5.4 - 4.21 = 1.19 round to two digits = 1.2
