Misha Larkins [42]

A bag of potatoes weighs 9.42 pounds on a weighing scale.

In order to find least significant digit we have these rules,

1. The leftmost non zero digit is the most significant digit.

2. If there is no decimal point, the rightmost non zero digit is the least significant digit.

3. If there is a decimal point, the rightmost digits is the least significant digit even if it is a zero.

4. All digits between the least and most are also significant digits.

In our case rule number 3 is to be applied.

Our number is 9.42, the rightmost digits that is 2 is the least significant digits.

I need help with this question.
Paul [167]
All we need to do is plug in the values and check.
15*60 + 10 * 20 ≥ 1100.
Is this statement true?
15 * 60 = 900
20 * 10 = 200
900+200 = 1100
Is the statement 1100≥1100 true?
Yes! So, (60, 20) is a solution because 1100 is greater than or equal to 1100.
