Answer
**Question 1:**The correct answer is **B 4**.* Leading zeros (the zeros before the first non-zero digit) are not significant. In 0.04450, the two zeros before the '4' are not significant.* Trailing zeros (zeros after the last non-zero digit) in a number with a decimal point are significant. The zero after the '5' is significant.* All non-zero digits are significant. The '4', '4', and '5' are significant.Therefore, there are four significant figures.**Question 2:**The correct answer is **B
**.Here's the solution:1. **Calculate the volume (V) of the cube:** V = l³ = (2.65 cm)³ = 18.61 cm³2. **Calculate the density (ρ):** ρ = mass / volume = 50.3 g / 18.61 cm³ = 2.70 g/cm³ (rounded to three significant figures, as justified by the given data)
