Mr. Reed DATA:

rate = 40 mph ; time = x 4.5 hrs ; distance = 40x miles

-----

Mrs. Reed DATA:

rate = 60 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = 60x - 210 miles

------

Equation:

40x = 60x -210

-20x = -210

x = 10.5 hrs

x-3.5 = 7 hrs (Mr. Reed's time)

If remove the zero from 0.76 would it change the value of the number
wariber [46]

Question 1:

<h3>Answer: The number does <u>not</u> change</h3>

Removing the zero from 0.76 leads to .76 which is the same as before. Both lead to 7.6 \times 10^{-1} in scientific notation.

Personally I prefer the zero up front to make the decimal point stand out easier. Of course it's just a preference, so its up to you to decide which you prefer.

===========================================

Question 2:

<h3>Answer: Yes the number changes</h3>

Taking the zero out of 10.25 leads to 1.25 which is definitely a different number (and smaller). Therefore, this zero is a significant digit compared to before.
