Homework help...Last question: Estimate the product of 15.217 × 9.54. Round each number to the nearest whole number.

1 answer:

7 0

I rounded it to 150.

You could round 15.217 down to 15 and 9.54 up to 10 and then multiply 15 x 10 = 150. But you could also multiply 15.217 x 9.54 to get 145.17018 and round that up to 150 because any number that ends with 5 or higher rounds up.

At an animal shelter, there are 15 dogs and 12 cats.

Bond [772]

Answer:

Dogs: 44.44 Cats: 55.556

Step-by-step explanation:

*this is only if you are allowed to use a calculator*

1. You have to add the total of the cats and dogs

Why? Here, let me put it this way. You have a test with two sections: math and science. If there are 2 Maths Questions and 2 Science questions, what percent of the test are math questions? You would not say 2/2 and say 100. You would say 2/4 because it is obvious. You do the same in this case but it is not as noticeable because you are dealing with bigger numbers.

15 + 12 = 27.

2. Solve

a. There are 15 dogs and 12 cats that makes up 27 pets total.

So you have to do 12/27 for cats,

15/27 for dogs. The fractions equal one and It shows you how much of one is there compared to the total.

b. Simplify

You can simplify these fractions:

for 12/27, divide the numerator and the denominator by 3.

You get 4/9

Divide 15/27 for dogs by 3 as well to get 5/9.

5+4 is 9, which means that I am doing the math correctly.

According to the calculator, 5/9 is 55.556, and 4/9 is 44.444
