Answer :
We are given the division
[tex]$$
\frac{12.0}{7.11}\,.
$$[/tex]
Both numbers have three significant figures, so our final answer should also be given to three significant figures.
1. First, perform the division:
[tex]$$
\frac{12.0}{7.11} \approx 1.68776\,.
$$[/tex]
2. Now, we round this result to three significant figures. Since the integer part "1" counts as one significant figure, we require two digits after the decimal point.
3. Rounding [tex]$1.68776$[/tex] to two decimal places gives
[tex]$$
1.69\,.
$$[/tex]
Thus, the correct answer is [tex]$\boxed{1.69}$[/tex].
