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>

Ones place: 9

Tens place: 9

Hundreds place: 6

Thousands place: 4

Ten thousands place: 3

Which is 34,699

Now that we know 3 is in the ten thousand's place.

So then go from 3, and jump too 4. If the number is higher then 5, the 3 would become a 4. If the number is lower then 5, 4 would become a 0 and so will the rest of the number's too the right.

34,699 ---> 30,000

That being said, the answer is 30,000!

I hope this help's! :)

Each unit on the grid stands for one miles determine two ways to calculate the distance from josie's house to annies

I encountered this problem before but it had an accompanying image and list of answer choices.

I'll attach the image and include the list of options.

Each unit on the grid stands for one mile. Determine two ways to calculate the distance from Josie's house to Annie's house.
A) Distance Formula and Slope Formula
B) Midpoint Formula and Slope Formula
C) Distance Formula and Midpoint Formula
<span>D) Distance Formula and Pythagorean Theorem
</span>
My answer is: D.) Distance formula and Pythagorean Theorem.

When looking at the image, I can visualize a right triangle. I'll simply get the measure of the long and short legs and solve for the hypotenuse.
Since the distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, it can be used to determine the distance from Josie's house to Annie's house.
