round answer to correct significant numbers

Answer:

370 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rules for significant digits are:

Non-zero digits are always significant.

Zeroes to the left of another digit are NOT significant.

Zeroes between non-zero digits are always significant.

Zeroes at the end of a number and to the right of a decimal point are always significant.

Zeroes at the end of a number, but to the left of a decimal point are NOT significant.

When multiplying or dividing with significant digits, the answer will have the same number of significant digits as the number with the LEAST significant digits.

The number of grams, 28.3495, in an ounce has six significant digits. The number of ounces of chicken, 13, has two significant digits.

Therefore, 368.5435 rounded to two significant digits is 370 grams.
