Answer: 14.5
Explanation:
When there is a decimal point, you start counting from the left any number that is not zero. If the zero is at the end, then you count it.
For example, if the answer is 0.000145 then the number of significant figures is still three because you start counting from the first nonzero number from the left.
If the answer is 14.50, then the number of significant figures is four because you start counting from the first nonzero number from the left.
14.53 is the answer to the equation but because you want to correct it to 3 significant figures, you round down because 3 is less than 5 and 14.5 ends up being the final answer.
