for the things in the Reckoning with Mestizaje gallery‚ I decided that the item that most correctly represents the term mestizaje would be the Zemi figure.

Significant Figures Even in this day and age with all of the equipment and technology available to us‚ whenever someone works with a numerical value that was given‚ measured‚ or calculated they can assume that it has some degree of uncertainty.

Take for example if a group of students were performing in a lab and a step in the procedure was to measure a piece of metal.

It is a story that intends to display the problems of today’s society from an outsider’s point of view.

This helps emphasize
