With rounding:
4 is less than 5 so we round it down to whole number:
9.4\approx9

6 is more than 5 so we round it up to whole number:
62.6\approx63

Now we have to add rounded numbers
63+9=72

Without rounding:
62.6+9.4 to make it more visible I will write it differently:

62+9+0.6+0.4 is equal to 62.6+9.4

we can see that 0.6+0.4 is equal to 1

so:
62+9+1=72

<span>As you see in this example those equations are equal so it doesn't matter if you take rounded numbers or not, it may be different in case like 62.4+9.4  ( 0.4 is just an example it could be any other number between 0-4 ) because in this case it will be equal 71 and another example 62.5+9.5 (in this case 0.5 is just an example, it can be any other number between 5-9 :) ) and here, answer for this equation is 73.</span>

Answer:

  180 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulas for the volume of a cone and a cylinder are ...

  V = πr²h . . . . . volume of a cone

  V = (1/3)πr²h . . . . . volume of a cylinder

Comparing these formulas, you can see that the 6' high cone at the top will have the same volume as a cylinder of the same radius that is 2' high. So, we can simplify the problem to finding the volume of a cylinder that is 66+2 = 68' high.

  V = π(12 ft)²(68 ft) = 9792π ft³ ≈ 30752.5 ft³

When the corn is used at the rate of 170 ft³/day, it will last ...

  (30752.5 ft³)/(170 ft³/day) ≈ 180.96 days

The corn will last 180 days.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

In scenarios like this, it is inappropriate to round up. There will be about 162 ft³ of corn left after 180 days, which is not enough for an additional day.
