When you round a number, which digit in the number helps you decide to round up or down?

1 answer:

3 0

When you round a number, the digit in the number that helps you decided to round up or down, is one digit to the right of the digit, you picked to round.

Rule -
Pick a digit to round up in the number. Move one space to the right of the digit you picked. Then, if the digit to the right is at least 5, meaning that if it’s above or equal to 5, then round the digit you picked up by 1. However if the digit to the right is lower than 5, then the digit you picked stays the same. Remember that anytime you round, either down or up, anything to the right of the digit, you picked becomes 0.

For example, let’s use the number, 1087, and we picked the digit 8. We have to look at the digit to the right, of the digit we picked, which is 7, to see if we need to round up or down. Since the number is above 5, then we have to round 8 up. Anything to the right of the 8 become 0.

Hope this helped!

4th root is even so there can be negative solutions.
0.0001
0.001 * 0.1
0.01 * 0.1 * 0.1
0.1 * 0.1 *0.1 * 0.1

4th root (0.0001) = 0.1 or -0.1

the price of a gallon of unleaded gas was $2.86 yesterday. today, the price fell to $2.79. find the percent decrease. round answ

soldier1979 [14.2K]

So.. 2.86 - 2.79 is the amount in decrease or 0.07

so.. if we take 2.86 as the 100%, how much is 0.07 of that in percentage?

well $\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
2.86&100\\
0.07&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{2.86}{0.07}=\cfrac{100}{x}$

solve for "x"

Consider the angle. Which TWO statements are true?

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

C, E

Step-by-step explanation:

A. INCORRECT

A is wrong because a reflection across the x-axis DOES move the position of the figure (as it is flipped, so the position changes), but it DOES NOT change the angle (since a shift in position doesn't equal to a change in angle measure)

B. INCORRECT

Although a reflection across the x-axis does change the position of the angle, it DOES NOT change the measure of the angle.

C. CORRECT

A reflection across the x-axis does in fact move the position of the figure and does not change the angle measure. Reflections only deal with flipping a figure, not changing it's shape/distorting it so that the angle will change.

D. INCORRECT

A translation right will change the position of the figure but will not change the measure of the angle.

E. CORRECT

Yes, a translation right WILL change the position of the figure but will NOT change the measure of the angle. This is because a translation is simply moving a figure up and down; it has nothing to do with changing the shape of the figure/distorting it so that the angle is different.
