Answer:

The least whole number can be 750,000 and the greatest whole number can be 849,999.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

We need to find the least whole number that's rounds to 800,000 when rounding to the nearest hundred thousands,

Rule of rounding a number.

If the number on the right side of rounding digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 then no need to change the rounding digit and change the rest of the digit right to rounding digit with 0.

If the number on the right side of rounding digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 then rounding digit rounds up by one number  and change the rest of the digit right to rounding digit with 0.

Now, consider the number 800,000 .

We want the least number so the number at the hundred thousands place should be 7.

We want to increase the number at the hundred thousands place by 1 so the least possible choice for tens place is 5.

Hence, the least whole number can be 750,000.

Now we want the greatest whole number that's rounds to 800,000 .

Similarly, for greatest whole number the number should be greater than 800,000 . We don't want to increase the number at the hundred thousands  place so the greatest possible choice for ten thousands place is 4. To make the largest number put 9 at the rest places.

Hence, the greatest whole number can be 849,999.

So i'm really confused how do you get 3 5/12 in this question? Manson bought 8 1/4 feet of wire. He cut off a piece of wire 3 5/
GaryK [48]

Answer:

r = π C , C = 12 − x , t h e n r = π ( 12 − x ) = 12 π − π x

Step-by-step explanation:

So cutting the wire of 12 m in length into two pieces, x and 12-x. The x side will be made into the square so that the square has sides x/4 and an area of (x/4)^2. This means the length of the wire 12-x will be the circumference of the circle. So if: r = π C , C = 12 − x , t h e n r = π ( 12 − x ) = 12 π − π x i hope this is correct

Fofino [41]
The answer is 7 3/4.
Turn into improper fraction
= 77/8 − 15/8

= ((77 × 8) − (15 × 8)) / (8 × 8)

= (616 - 120) / 64

= 496/64

= 31/4
