when multiplying/dividing, always take the lowest sig fig.

11.

4.3 x 2.15 x 4.8 = 44.3760

your lowest sig fig is 2. your answer needs to be in 2 sig figs. so, your finaly answer would be 44 cm

14.

4.7 x 8.767 = 41.2049

lowest sig fig is 2. your answer needs to be in 2 sig figs. so, your finaly answer would be 41 cm

18.

100.75/2.2 = 45.795454

lowest sig fig is 2. your answer needs to be in sig figs: 46 units
