Answer:

5 significant figures

Step-by-step explanation:

As the question does not state any term in 'significant figures', I will provide the number and the number of significant figures.

First of all, the number. 2.34 × 10³ = 2340, and 5.1 × 10^-2 = 0.051, therefore. 2340 × 0.051 = 119.34.

This will be equal to 5 significant figures.
