Round 44.9598 to the nearest tenth

1 answer:

6 0

Well to figure out how to round to the tenth, let's figure out where the tenths place is.

Remember that "Tens" is 2 places to the LEFT of a decimal.

However, we are dealing with "Tenths", so we are actually moving 1 place to the RIGHT of a decimal.

So, with our number, we have 44.9598

44.9598
Remember we are looking for the "Tenths" place, so look 1 place to the RIGHT of a decimal.

44.9 is our number.
To determine if we round up or not, the Hundredths place must be 5 or higher to estimate up. If it does not meet the number 5, we stay at our current Tenths place.

The Hundredths place is 2 places to the RIGHT of a decimal.

We now have 44.95
Since our Hundredths place is 5 or higher, we round up our Tenths place by 1.

9 + 1 = 10

44 + 1.0 = 45.0

Your estimation is 45.0

The speed to the island is x. The speed to return is x+5.

The distance is the same so, 2.5 multiplied by x = 2×(x+5).

It took 2.5 hrs to get there and 2 hrs to return. Now all we have to do is solve.

2.5*x = 2x + 10

.5x = 10
x=20

Therefore, the distance between islands is 2.5 × 20 = 50 miles.

In order to find the equivalent expression, let's use the following property:

$a-(-b)=a+b$

In other words, when subtracting a negative number, we can just add the corresponding positive number, that is, switch the two negative signs for a positive sign.

So we have that:
