Question

Solve. Round to the nearest hundredth. 29.3 = 1.7y

Answer 1

Steps to Solve:

29.3 = 1.7y

29.3/1.7 = 1.7y/1.7

y = 17.2352941176

In this case, we round up the hundredths place because the number in the thousandths place is 5 or higher.

y = 17.24

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer 2

Divide 29.3 by 1.7.

29.3 ÷ 1.7 = 17.235

Round up to the nearest hundredth.

17.235 ⇒ 17.24

Plug the result into the equation to check.

1.7 × 17.24 = 29.30

y = 17.24
