Henry divides 1.060 g by 1.0 mL to find the density of his water sample. How many significant figures should he include in the density value that he reports?

For division, the result should have the same number of significant figures as the measured value with the fewest. The mass, 1.060 g, has four significant figures, while the volume, 1.0 mL, has two. Therefore, Henry should report the density with two significant figures: choice B, “two.”
