    Answer is 273

    explanation:

    The rule of division for significant figures is to put the answer to the least amount of significant figures presented in the problem.

    0.0131 only has 3 sig figs which is 131

    3.582 has 4 sig figs

    The least amount is 3 in the problem

    When you originally divide 3.582 and 0.0131 you get 273.4531 in your calculator

    Now put it to 3 sig figs

    4 is not greater than 5 so you don't need to round

    273 is 3 sig figs.

    So answer is 273
