Higher order thinking explain why 0.25 x 0.4 has only one decimal place in the product.

1 answer:

6 0

This is a result of the rules of significant figures. These are the digits of the numbers that matter. For operations involving multiplication, the product should have the same significant numbers with the least significant numbers of the given data. In this case, that would be 0.4. Since 0.4 has one significant figure, then the product should be reported with one significant number. That should be 0.1.

The sales tax on the model rocket shown is $1.92. What is the percent of sales tax? A drawing of a model rocket with a tag label

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The sales tax is 8%

Explanation:

We are given that:

The price of the rocket is $24 and the sales tax is $1.92

To get the percentage of the sales tax, all we have to do is divide the sales tax by the price of the rocket and then multiply the quotient by 100 (to convert the ratio to percentage)

This is done as follows:

% of sales tax = $\frac{tax}{price}*100$

% of sales tax = $\frac{1.92}{24}*100 = 8$ %

Hope this helps :)
