Answer: The answer is 2.
All they're doing is multiplying by 2.
First off, we'll convert the mixed fractions to "improper",

Yes, the added zeros are significant. Lets say you are converting 1.23 x 10 to the power of 4. The answer would be 12,300 in which case, if you took away the zeros, the number would be 123, which is an incorrect answer.
Hope this makes sense and helps!
Alrighty, what I was always taught was to start by writing out what you know from the question.
What I know:
-Tom is paid $0.23 for every page of proofs.
-He proofreads 1,992 pages.
In order to figure out how much money Tom has made, we need to multiply 0.23 by 1,992. Multiplying allows us to see the total amount of money made by proofreading x amount of pages - for every page he proofreads, he makes $0.23.
0.23×1992=458.16
Therefore, Tom made $458.16.
Hope this helps!
