Answer:

3 significant digits

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a decimal point with non-zero digits to its left, all digits to the right of the left-most non-zero digit are significant. Here, that is all of them. This number has 3 significant digits.

Comment on other cases

If there is no decimal point, the digits between any leading and trailing zeros are significant. For example, 02000 has 1 significant digit.

If there are no non-zero digits left of the decimal point. All digits except leading zeros are significant. 0.0031000 has 5 significant digits.

There are a total of 64 students in a drama club and a yearbook club .The drama club has 10 more students than the yearbook club

tatiyna

Answer:

x + y = 64

x + 10 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it isn't asking for the solutions, I won't solve.

let y represent drama students, and x represent the yearbook students.

We know that DS (drama students) plus YS (Yearbook students) equals 64 students in total. To write this mathematically you would write x(YS)+ y(DS) = 64 (Students in total) except just x + y = 64.

The second part of this system explains what y is.

We know that the drama club has 10 more students than yearbook students, so YS plus 10 equals the amount of DS. To write this mathematically you would write x + 10 = y.

Combine the two systems by writing

x + y = 64

x + 10 = y

P.S. Let me know if you need the system solved.
