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>

Cameroon was paid $173.70 for working 18 hours. how much money does he make per hour?

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Since you are looking for the dollar per hour, can just set the equation up as dollar divided by hour (dollar/hour). You take how much was made ($173.70) and divide it by the hours worked (18 hours).

$173.70/18 = x (x representing how much he makes an hour).

$173.70/18 = $9.65.

Cameroon makes $9.65 an hour.

Need some help with this question please

Serggg [28]

Answer:

$\frac{15}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos( \alpha ) = \frac{ad}{hip} \\ \\ \sin( \alpha ) = \frac{op}{hip}$

Pythagorean theorem

hip² = op² + ad²

17² = x² + 8²

x² = 17² - 8²

$x \: = \sqrt{{17}^{2} - {8}^{2} } \\ x = \sqrt{289 - 64} \\ x = \sqrt{225} \\ x = 15$

$\sin( \alpha ) = - \frac{15}{17}$

$\sin( - \alpha ) = \frac{15}{17}$

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

95 minutes/1 hour and 35 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 60 minutes in a hour you could convert it. Or you could just subtract 550 minutes by 415 minutes and get 95 minutes which is also 1 hour and 35 minutes.
