It was rounding to the nearest THOUSAND.


We are looking at the thousands place, keep that in mind.


Remember: everything 5 and above is rounded up, everything below 5 is rounded down.


186,789 is above 500, it is rounded to 187,000


186,899 is above 500, it is rounded to 187,000


185,990 is above 500, it is rounded to 186,000


and 185,190 is below 500, it is rounded to 185,000


Only one matches the criteria of the question:


185,990 is above 500, it is rounded to 186,000


therefore the answer is 185,990 miles per second



Have a fantastic day!

You have a jar of jelly beans in front of you
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: The probability of selecting either a lime or bubble gum followed by a papaya is 425/2209

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, there are four types of items in the jar, namely- lime, papaya, mango and bubble gum that have quantities of 12, 17, 5 and 13 respectively. Before finding the probabilities, we first add up the quantities or number of different items in the jar.

12 + 17 + 5 + 13 = 47 in total.

Since lime is 12 in number, the probability of selecting a lime is = 12/47.

Bubble gums are 13 in number, so the probability of selecting a bubble gum = 13/47.

Then the probability of selecting either a lime or a bubble gum is the addition of the probabilities of selecting a lime and selecting a bubble gum:

= 12/47 + 13/47

= 25/47.

Again, the probability of selecting a papaya is =

number of papaya/total number of items

= 17/47

If the system is with replacement, then the probability of selecting a lime or bubble gum followed by a papaya is:

= Probability of selecting a lime or bubble gum × Probability of selecting papaya

= 25/47 × 17/47

= 425/2209

The probability of selecting a lime or bubble gum followed by a papaya is 425/2209
