Do the following calculation and express the final answer in

proper scientific notation with the correct number of
significant digits:
(2.3 × 10^-3)(5.880 × 10^4) + 8.44
Answer:
x 10
I did the calculations and got 143.68. Since there’s multiplication I thought the number of sig figs would be 2 since 2.3 x 10^-3 has 2 sig figs. And I rounded the output to 14 and input 1.4 x 10^1 as the answer but got it wrong.
