"what is the answer to the expression: (4.10 X 11.116) divided by 0.8931 ?"
For multiplication and division, the final number of significant digits is determined by the factor that has the smallest number of significant digits.Since 4.10 has the smallest number of significant digits, the answer should contain 3 significant digits:
(4.10 X 11.116)/0.8931 = 51.0

(4.10 X 11.116) divided by 0.8931
= 51.030791
Since 4.10 is the number with the least significant figures, we must round the answer to 2 significant figures getting
51.03

Use the lowest number of sig figs in your answer.
4.10 is three sig figs (terminal zeroes count if to the right of a decimal pt)
11.116 is 5 sig figs
0.8931 is 4 sig figs
Therefore your must have 3 sig figs: 51.0

The answer is easily worked out as 51.030791624... As the figures in the question are given up to 4s.f. and to allow a reasonable degree of accuracy, I would leave the answer as 51.03, to 4s.f.
