What is the concept of rounding decimals? Please be certain to leave an example

1 answer:

8 0

Look at the digit to the right of the required number. If it is a 5 or greater, add 1 to previous digit.
If it is less than 5, leave the previous digit unchanged. In either case, drop all the remaining digits. Example: Round off this decimal 7.253896 to three decimal digits.
Answer. 7.253896approximately7.254
(The wavy equal sign approximately means "is approximately equal to.")
To round off to three decimal digits, we must look at the digit in the fourth place. The digit in the fourth place is 8 (greater than 5). Therefore, we add 1 to the previous digit 3.

Solve for x .problem down below

AleksAgata [21]

A: no solution!

first, simplify each side of the equation.

3x + 5 - 10x simplifies to -7x + 5.
8 - 7x - 12 simplifies to -7x - 4.

then, add +7x on both sides of the equation to get the variable alone. if you add 7x to each side, you get left with 0.

so, that leaves 5 = -4 which is not true. so, that means there is no solution.

There are 650 toothpicks in a regular sized box.

That is the volume of the box = 650 toothpicks

Jumbo box is made by doubling all the dimensions.

We know volume = length * width * height = L*W*H

We double all the dimensions for Jumbo box

L becomes 2L

W become 2W

H becomes 2H

Volume of Jumbo box = 2L * 2W * 2H = 8*L*W*H

Volume of jumbo box = 8 * volume of small box

= 8 * 650= 5200

The Jumbo box holds 5200 toothpicks .

During 4 days, the price of the stock of PEV Corporation went up 1/4 of a point, down 1/3 of a point, down 3/4 of a point, and u

The price of the stock of PEV Corporation varies as shown. we have to determine the net charge. Net change is just how much it changed overall, so we will look for all the ups minus all the downs.

Here, "went up" goes with a + sign, and "went down" goes with a - sign.

So, Net charge = $\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3}-\frac{3}{4} + \frac{7}{10}$
