Well, first you need to decide what place you want to round it TO.
Example: Round it to the nearest hundredth:
The next larger hundredth is 186.29 . The next smaller hundredth is 186.28 . Now look at it. 186.282 is closer to 186.28 than it is to 186.29 . So the nearest hundredth is 186.28 .
-- When 186.282 is rounded to the nearest hundredth, it becomes 186.28 .
Similarly . . . -- When 186.282 is rounded to the nearest tenth, it becomes 186.3 . -- When 186.282 is rounded to the nearest whole number, it becomes 186 . -- When 186.282 is rounded to the nearest ten, it becomes 190 . -- When 186.282 is rounded to the nearest hundred, it becomes 200 . -- When 186.282 is rounded to the nearest thousand or anything larger, it becomes zero.
I'm curious . . . where did this number come from ?
It happens to be one thousandth of the speed of light, in miles per hour.
Did it come up in science class, or did a science geek use it for one of the problems in math ?
1000+1500=2500 is how much she owes right now If each hat is sold for 12.50, all you have to do is 2500/12.50=200 She needs to sell 20 hats to break even.
