PLEAZE HELP!!!

Calculate the volume of a liquid with a density of 5.35 g/mL and a mass of 62.0 g.
Answer to the proper significant figures and include the proper unit.

My answer was 11.6 mL, but it was wrong.

Answer 1

V= 12mL

Step-by-step explanation:

you had the right idea with your Significant figures however, when we divide we see that it requires 2 significant figures as our least amount. this is because when looking at our division, 62 has 2 sig. fig. while 5.35 has a total 3. when looking at your answer we see that you had a total of 3 sig. figures. so in actuakity you had to round up to 12 and not to the tenths because the decimal makes .6 count as your third sig fig.
