Answer:

a. 1200 f. 900

b. 600 g. 5700

c. 900 h. 4800

d. 300 i. 8300

e. 800 j. 8500

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you need to compute the sums. I find a calculator handy for this.

To round to hundreds, you can examine the digit in the next place to the right of the hundreds place. That digit in the tens place needs to be compared to 5. If it is 5 or greater, add 1 to the digit in the hundreds place. After you have done that, set the digits to the right of the hundreds place to zero.

Alternatively, you can add 1/2 of 100 to the sum, then set the digits to the right of the 100s place to zero. (Adding 50 will only change the 100's place digit if the 10's place digit is 5 or more.) This method doesn't require you do any thinking about the size of the digit; it is purely mechanical.

The sums and their rounded values are ...

a. 1221 ⇒ 1200

b. 568 ⇒ 600

c. 931 ⇒ 900

d. 347 ⇒ 300

e. 798 ⇒ 800

f. 911 ⇒ 900

g. 5681 ⇒ 5700

h. 4766 ⇒ 4800

i. 8328 ⇒ 8300

j. 8507 ⇒ 8500

Farmer Bill sold potatoes at the farm market. He sold a quarter to the first person, 4/9 of what was left to the second person,

Answer:

<em>Farmer Bill sold 120 lb of potatoes</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose farmer Bill had x lb of potatoes. He sold a quarter to the first person. A quarter is written as (1/4)x. After that, Bill had x-(1/4)x = (3/4)x.

Then he sold 4/9 of what was left to the second person, thus it was left 1-4/9=5/9 of the remaining potatoes. Multiplying both factors:

$\frac{5}{9}*\frac{3}{4}x=\frac{5}{12}x$
