The value of $\dfrac{4.36 \times 0.052}{1.2}$, expressed to the correct number of significant figures, is
Answer: (B) $0.19$
$\dfrac{4.36 \times 0.052}{1.2} = 0.18893\ldots$
In multiplication and division, the answer keeps as many significant figures as the least precise value. Here $0.052$ and $1.2$ each have 2 significant figures, so the answer is rounded to 2:
$$0.19$$
