# With due regards to significant figures $5.4 \times 0.125$ is equal to:

0.68

##### SOLUTION
Least number of significant figures before multiplication is $2$ in one of the multiplying numbers, then after the multiplication also, the answer should be in same number of significant digits.
$5.4\times 0.125=0.675=0.68$

You're just one step away
