Answer:

53.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The product will be calculated as:

392 × 0.13592 = 53.28064

The correct number of significant figures corresponds to the least number of significant figures in the initial values.

  • 392 has 3 significant figures
  • 0.13592 has 5 significant figures

The least number is 3 significant figures, hence the result should also have 3 significant figures.

53.28064 should then be rounded to 53.3

This number could also be written as 5.33x10
