Question

If a computer truncatesall numbers to two decimal places, compute the error forthe following: 23.345+222.34911)0.12)0.01413)0.1414)0.415) None of thesealternatives is correct.

Answer 1

Answer:

2) 0.0141

Explanation:

23.345+222.3491 = 245.6941

Computer truncates all numbers to 2 decimal places.

23.345 is truncated to 23.34

222.3491 is truncated to 222.34

Calculating the sum of truncated numbers:

23.34+222.34 = 245.68

Calculating the difference between the 2 values:

245.6941 - 245.68 = 0.0141

From the options provided as part of this question, this corresponds to option 2.
