Answer: 0.19

Explanation: 0.34 x 0.568 = 0.19312. this answer does not have the correct amount of significant figures though, so you have to round. 0.568 has 3 significant figures, and 0.34 has 2 significant figures. you always want to round to the smaller amount of significant figures, which is two in this case. 0.19312 rounds down to 0.19.
