Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's because any number multiplied by 0 equals 0. We could put any 2 numbers other than 2.7 and 2.8 yet still get both sides of the  equation = - 5.9 but the 2 sides are obviously not equal.

To do the test correctly he can use any number except 0.

A study show that there are 16 vehicles for every 10 households how many vehicles are there for 107 million households
Lisa [10]
\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
vehicles&households\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
16&10\\
v&107E6
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{16}{v}=\cfrac{10}{17E6}\implies \cfrac{17E6\cdot 16}{10}=v

just to clarify the engineering notation, E6 is just 1 and 6 zeros, or a million, thus, 107,000,000 is just 107E6.
