NOTE: To propagate uncertainty when multiplying or dividing two measurements, count the number of significant figures in each. Your result should be reported to the number of significant figures in the measurement having the lesser number of significant figures. Note that 'significant figures' are different than 'decimal places'; see rules at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Significant_figures&oldid=1114415444#Identifying_significant_figures .
Rounding a number to N significant figures is similar to rounding to N digits after the decimal point, except that we start counting from the beginning of the number. For example, 71.25150 rounded to three significant figures is 71.3, to four is 71.25, and to one is 70. (If the N + 1 digit is 5 followed by nothing or by zeros only, use the 'round half to even' tiebreaking rule).

NOTE: To propagate uncertainty when multiplying or dividing two measurements, count the number of significant figures in each. Your result should be reported to the number of significant figures in the measurement having the lesser number of significant figures. Note that 'significant figures' are different than 'decimal places'; see rules at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Significant_figures&oldid=1114415444#Identifying_significant_figures .
Rounding a number to N significant figures is similar to rounding to N digits after the decimal point, except that we start counting from the beginning of the number. For example, 71.25150 rounded to three significant figures is 71.3, to four is 71.25, and to one is 70. (If the N + 1 digit is 5 followed by nothing or by zeros only, use the 'round half to even' tiebreaking rule).

NOTE: To propagate uncertainty when multiplying or dividing two measurements, count the number of significant figures in each. Your result should be reported to the number of significant figures in the measurement having the lesser number of significant figures. Note that 'significant figures' are different than 'decimal places'; see rules at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Significant_figures&oldid=1114415444#Identifying_significant_figures .
Rounding a number to N significant figures is similar to rounding to N digits after the decimal point, except that we start counting from the beginning of the number. For example, 71.25150 rounded to three significant figures is 71.3, to four is 71.25, and to one is 70. (If the N + 1 digit is 5 followed by nothing or by zeros only, use the 'round half to even' tiebreaking rule).

A clickwheel with a precision of +/- 0.4 meters measures a distance of 29.3 meters and a spring scale with a precision of +/- 0.03 grams reads 3.80 grams when measuring a mass. Using a calculator, you multiply the first number by the second number and get the output 111.340000000000. If we express this output suitably with respect to the level of precision, what is the answer?
A. 111.340 gram-meters
B. 111.3 gram-meters
C. 111 gram-meters
