Answer: Weight of Fanny is 2.85 tons when rounded to the nearest hundredths.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Weight of elephant = 2.85 tons when rounded to the nearest hundredths,
We need to find the original weight of the elephant before rounded to the nearest hundredths.
1) Tiny : Weight of Tiny is 2.805 tons
On rounded to nearest hundredths, we get that 2.80 tons
2) Lizzie: Weight of Lizzie = 2.816
On rounding to nearest hundredths , we get that 2.82 tons as at thousandths place, there is 6 which is greater than 5, so 1 is added to the hundredth value.
3) Raja: Weight of Raja = 2.842
On rounding to nearest hundredths, we get that 2.84 tons.
4) Fanny : Weight of Fanny = 2.849
On rounding to nearest hundredths, we get than 2.85 as at thousandths place, there is 9 which is greater than 5, so 1 is added to the hundredth value.
Hence, Weight of Fanny is 2.85 tons when rounded to the nearest hundredths.
