Step-by-step explanation: To round a decimal, you first need to know the indicated place value position you want to round to. This means that you want to first find the digit in the rounding place which will usually be underlined.

Once you locate the digit in the rounding place, look to the left of that digit. Now, the rules of rounding tell us that if a number is less than 4, we round down but if a number is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.

I'll show an example.

<em>Round the following decimal to the indicated place value.</em>

<em />

<em>To round 0.80</em><u><em>0</em></u><em>5 to the indicated place value position, first find the digit in the rounding place which in this case is the 0 in the thousandths place.</em>

<em />

<em>Next, find the digit to the right of the rounding place which in this case is 5. Since 5 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.</em>

<em />

<em>This means we add 1 to the digit in the rounding place so 0 becomes 1. So we have 0.801. Now, we change all digits to the right of the rounding place to 0 so 5 changes to 0.</em>

<em />

<em>Finally, we can drop of any zeroes to the right of our decimal as long as they're also to the right of the rounding position.</em>

<em />

<em>So we can write 0.8010 as 0.801.</em>

Answer:

Find the place value you want (the "rounding digit") and look at the digit just to the right of it.

If that digit is less than 5, do not change the rounding digit but drop all digits to the right of it.

If that digit is greater than or equal to five, add one to the rounding digit and drop all digits to the right of it.

Nataly [62]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>2 hours & 10 minutes </h2><h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2><h2>1/6 of an hour is 10 minutes. She vacuumed for 10 minutes. It took 4 times as long to wash the car so 10 * 4 = 40. She washed the car for 40 minutes. It took her twice as long to wax the car as it did for her to wash it so 40 * 2 = 80. She waxed the car for 80 minutes. 10 + 40 + 80 = 130 minutes or 2 hours and 10 minutes. </h2>

A cell tower is located at and transmits a circular signal that covers three major cities. The three cities are located on the c

Lelu [443]

Answer:

$(x+8)^2 +(y-4)^2 = 25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete problem: "A cell tower is located at (-8, 4) and transmits a circular signal that covers three major cities. The three cities are located on the circle and have the following coordinates: G (-4, 7), H (-13, 4), and I (-8, -1). Find the equation of the circle"

For this case the generla equation for the circle is given by:

$(x-h)^2 +(y-k)^2 = r^2$

From the info we know that the tower is located at (-8, 4) so then h = -8 and k = 4, so then we need to find the radius. So we have the equation like this: $(x+8)^2 +(y-4)^2 = r^2$

If the 3 points are on the circle then satisfy the equation. We can use the first point (-4,7) and if we replace we can find the value for $r^2$

$(-4+8)^2 +(7-4)^2 =25= r^2$

So then $r = \sqrt{25}=5$

And if we replace the second point we got this:

$(-13+8)^2 +(4-4)^2 = 25 =r^2$

And for the third point we have:

$(-8+8)^2 +(-1-4)^2 = 25 =r^2$

And we got the same result.

So then our final equation is given:

$(x+8)^2 +(y-4)^2 = 25$

EFV and EDW are straight lines.<br>Find the value of x and of y.

Makovka662 [10]

Answers:

x = 72

y = 83

============================================================

Explanation:

Angle VFG is 50 degrees. The angle adjacent to this is angle EFG which is 180-50 = 130 degrees.

Angle HDW is 77 degrees. The supplementary angle adjacent to this is 180-77 = 103 degrees which is angle EDH.

Pentagon EFGHD has the following five interior angles

E = x
F = 130
G = 170
H = 65
D = 103

Note that angles F = 130 and D = 103 were angles EFG and EDH we calculated earlier.

For any pentagon, the interior angles always add to 180(n-2) = 180(5-2) = 180*3 = 540 degrees.

This means,

E+F+G+H+D = 540

x+130+170+65+103 = 540

x+468 = 540

x = 72

---------------------------------------

Now focus your attention on triangle THS

We see that the interior angles are

T = y
H = 65
S = 32

The angle H is 65 degrees because it's paired with the other 65 degree angle shown. They are vertical angles.

For any triangle, the angles always add to 180

T+H+S = 180

y+65+32 = 180

y+97 = 180

y = 180-97

y = 83

Wally Beige has painted a rectangular mural that is 7 ft tall and 11 ft wide. He plans to paint a border of equal width all the

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Width = 4ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangular mural = Length × Breadth

7 ft tall and 11 ft wide.

(11 - 2W)(7 - 2W) = 88

77 -22W - 14W + 4W² = 88

77 -36W + 4W² = 88

4W² - 36W + 77 - 88

= 4W² - 36W - 11

W = 4ft
