Question

Which statement about this product is true? 0.44×(-53/4)

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

The number whose product we have to find is,

$0.44 \times \frac{-53}{4}\\\\=\frac{44}{100} \times \frac{-53}{4}\\\\=\frac{-53 \times 11}{100}\\\\=\frac{-583}{100}=-5.83$

→Actual Product = -5.83

When, you will round it to nearest Hundredth it is equal to -6.

Now ⇒ starting from option A

0.44 when rounded to nearest whole number is equal to 0.

So,

$0 \times\frac{-53}{4}=0$

is not closer to actual Product which is -5.83.

⇒Option B  

0.44 when rounded up≠1

Incorrect Statement

⇒Option C

-5.83, is not greater than -3.

Incorrect Statement

⇒Option D

True Statement

It is less than $\frac{-53}{4}$ because multiplying a rational number by a number less than 1 gives a smaller number.
