Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\text{two}}[/tex]
Explanation:
In multiplication and division problems, your answer can have no more significant figures than the number with the fewest significant figures.
[tex]\dfrac{7.06 \times 10^{5}}{5.3 \times 10^{-2}}= 1.332 075 472 \times 10^{7}[/tex] (by my calculator)
There are three significant figures in 7.06 and two in 2.3.
You must round to [tex]\boxed{\textbf{two}}[/tex] significant figures and report the answer as 1.3 × 1.0⁷.
On dividing the exponents, [tex]\frac{7.06* 10^{5} }{5.3*10^{-2}} = 1.33 * 10^{7}[/tex].
To divide them, you take the exponent value in the numerator (the top exponent) and subtract the exponent value of the denominator (the bottom exponent).
[tex]= \frac{7.06* 10^{5} }{5.3*10^{-2}} \\\\= \frac{7.06}{5.3}* 10^{5+2}\\ \\= 1.33 * 10^{7}[/tex]
