Answer:

81

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem here is to use the rules for significant figures in the multiplication below.

67.6 x 1.2:

This product will yield an answer that will produce the least number of significant figures.

67.6 has 3 significant figures; 6, 7 and 6

1.2 has 2 significant figures; 1 and 2

The product must give us an answer of two significant figures:

67.6 x 1.2 = 81.12 to 2significant figures gives 81

The solution to this problem is 81
