What is the square root of 50 rounded to the nearest hundredth?

1 answer:

8 0

Let's write an inequality, such as follows: x < sqrt(50) < y. Square both sides of the equation. We get x^2 < 50 < y^2. Obviously, x is between 7 and 8. Also notice, that for integers a,b, (ab)^2/b^2, equals a^2. So let's try values, like 7.1. Using the previous fact, (7.1)^2, equals (71)^2/100. So, (7.1)^2, equals 50.41. Thus, our number is between 7 and 7.1. We find, with a bit of experimentation, that the square root of 50, is 7.07.

Answer:

7.5 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mr. Ward runs a lot. He ran 45 minutes each day, 5 days each week, for 16 weeks.

First of all, we will find time for that Mr. Ward ran in 16 weeks.

We will multiply 5 by 16 to find number of days for that Mr. Ward ran and then we will multiply the result by 45 minutes to find the time.

$\text{Time for that Mr. Ward ran in 16 weeks}=16\times 5\times 45\text{ minutes}$
