Sagot :

Question 1:

Answer: The number does not change

Removing the zero from 0.76 leads to .76 which is the same as before. Both lead to [tex]7.6 \times 10^{-1}[/tex] 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:

Answer: Yes the number changes

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.
