b) -4.6875

c) -5.687

d) -5.6875

Answer 1

The correct answer to the subtraction problem (assuming that '10'' was a typo for '10') is 5.313 - 10, which equals -4.687, with the answer expressed to three decimal places as per the significant figures rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression 5.313 - 10' appears to contain a typographical error, where 10' should probably be 10.

Assuming this is the case, the subtraction of these two numbers is calculated as follows:

5.313
- 10.000
________
-4.687

Since we are not rounding the answer and need to express it with the correct number of significant figures, the correct option is (a) -4.687.
