Answer:

A significant figure is the first digit in a number that isn't zero. You round to this.

Step-by-step explanation:

E.g. 1959302 to 1 Sig Fig = 2000000

You round to the first figure that isn't zero, which is one

E.g 0.000001373 to 1 Sig Fig = 0.000001 because that 1 is the first digit that isn't zero

stich3 [128]

Answer:

The equations are:

T = 2Y and T + 2Y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent bones eaten Today with T and yesterday with Y

Required

Write the equation

In the first statement, we have that:

T = 2Y

Reading further; In the second statement

T + 2Y = 15

Hence, the equations are:

T = 2Y and T + 2Y = 15

Solving further:

Substitute 2Y for  T in the second equation

2Y + 2Y = 15

4Y = 15

Divide both sides by 4

Y = \frac{15}{4}

Y = 3.75

Recall that

T = 2Y

T= 2 * 3.75

T= 7.5
