How do you round an irrational number to the nearest hundredth

1 answer:

7 0

To round to the nearest cent, nearest penny, or nearest hundredth, you will need to locate the hundredths place. Then look at the digit to the right. If it is 5 or above, the number in the hundredths place will be increased by 1 and all the rest of the numbers after it are dropped. If the number is 4 or below, you leave the digit in the hundredths place alone and drop all the rest of the numbers after.

<span>Just remember, if the problem asks you to round to the nearest hundredth, make the end result look like money, meaning only two digits after the decimal point!</span>

Complete the equation to show the relationship between the number of buses, x, and the number of people that can be transported,

kondaur [170]

Answer:

$y = 40\cdot k$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that each bus has the same capacity and exists a direct proportionality between the amount of people that is transported and the number of buses:

$y \propto x$

$y = k \cdot x$

Where $k$ is the proportionality constant, which is equivalent to the maximum capacity of each bus. In that case, the quantity of people that is transported on 40 buses is:

$y = 40\cdot k$
