Answer:

84 ft or 84.474

Explanation:

46.93 ft/sec * 1.8 sec = 84 ft

Explanation:

The reason you can use simple multiplication is because of the units:

46.93 f t/ sec ⋅ 1.8 sec would equal 84.474 f t ⋅ sec/ sec

however the seconds cancel out, leaving you with just the distance traveled.

The reason the answer is 84 instead of 84.474 is because the number 1.8 only contains two significant figures
