$\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {SOLUTION:}}}}$

▪
$\longrightarrow \sf{10.24}$

▪
$\longrightarrow \sf{16}$

We start by obtaining it:

$\longrightarrow \sf{(10.24)/(16) = 0.64}$

Therefore, we are asked how many significant figures 0.64 has. The answer is 2. In this case, the significant digits are 6 & 4.
