Answer:The mass of 12 M&Ms can be calculated by multiplying the average mass of an M&M (0.625 g) by the number of M&Ms (12):

0.625 g * 12 = 7.5 g

The answer should be reported to three significant figures, so it would be 7.5 g.

There are no significant figures associated with 12 M&Ms because it is a whole number and does not have any uncertainty. Significant figures are used to indicate the degree of accuracy or precision of a measurement, and whole numbers are considered to be exact values without any uncertainty.
