Explanation

12.02 x 20.06 / 26.04 x 60.06= 241.1212 / 1563.9624= 0.15417~ 0.154.To evaluate the expression \(\frac{12.02 \times 20.06}{26.04 \times 60.06}\) and express the answer to three significant figures, we can follow these steps:First, calculate the numerator:\(12.02 \times 20.06 = 240.7212\)Next, calculate the denominator:\(26.04 \times 60.06 = 1565.6024\)Now, divide the numerator by the denominator:\(\frac{240.7212}{1565.6024} \approx 0.1536\)Rounding to three significant figures, the result is:\(0.154\)Therefore, the evaluated expression, correct to three significant figures, is \(0.154\).
