Okay, rounding is when you take a number such as 198 and imagine that it is something easier to do math with, like 200. 
200 is easier to add with because there are zeroes in the tens place and the ones place. 
725 is easier to add with than 727 because the ones place digit, (5), is an easier base to use, just like zero. 
Using the easier numbers, 200 + 725 = 925
Using the original numbers, 198 + 727 + 925
*Because you took two pieces from the 727 and added them to 198, the four numbers in this problem are compatible. 
Compatible numbers are when you use numbers that are close to the original ones and make it easier to do the problem in your head. 
____
In the case of 87+ 34, the simplest numbers to use would be 90 instead of 87 and 35 instead of 34. Not as easy as the first equation, but still doable. 
90+35+125
    or
87+34=121
____
In the case of 222+203, the simplest substitutions are 220 and 200. 
220+200=420
or
222+203=425
Hope this helps,

Answer:

a) 121

b) 425  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

198 + 727 + 200 + 725 = 925

This can be explained with the help of associative of addition and subtraction and commutative property of the addition.

Associative property:

a+(b+c) = (a +b )+c

Commutative property:

a+b = b+a

198 + 727 \\= 198 + ( 727 + 2)\\=198 + ( 2 + 727)\\=(198 + 2) + 725\\= 200+ 725 \\= 925

a)

87 + 34\\= 87 + ( 31 + 3)\\=87 + ( 3 + 31)\\=(87 + 3) + 31\\=90 + 31\\=121

b)

222 + 203\\=(220 + 2) + 203\\=220 + ( 2 + 203)\\=220 + 205\\=425

Help me..it has to be rounded to the tenths
klio [65]

Answer:

10.2 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a regular hexagon is

A = \frac{1}{2} × perimeter × apothem

Perimeter = 6 × 2 = 12 cm ( hexagon has 6 sides ), hence

A = 0.5 × 12 × 1.7 = 6 × 1.7 = 10.2 cm²

Suppose a three-seat city council election. For each seat, one progressive and one conservative is running, and voters must choo
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The probability that conservative party wins all 3 seats is 0.216

The probability that conservative party wins exactly two seats is 0.432

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The probability of a conservative candidate winning is p=0.6.

The probability of one progressive candidate will win is: 1-0.6=0.4

Part (a) What is the probability that the conservative party wins all three seats?

According to binomial distribution: b(x; n, p) =^nC_xp^x(1- p)^{n-x}

P(x=3) =^3C_3(0.6)^3 (0.4)^{3-3}

P(x=3) =(0.6)^3

P(x=3)=0.216

P(conservative party wins all 3 seats) = 0.216

Hence, the probability that conservative party wins all 3 seats is 0.216

Part (a) What is the probability that the conservative party wins exactly two seats?

P(x=2) =^3C_2(0.6)^2 (0.4)^{3-2}

P(x=2) =3(0.36)(0.4)

P(x=2) =0.432

Hence, the probability that conservative party wins exactly two seats is 0.432
