Answer:

4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The tenth place in this number is 4.432, so that should be the last digit.

Now, we need to know wether to round up or down. That is determined by the digit that comes after it. If that digit, here it is the hundredth, is 0-4, it rounds down, if it is 5-9, it rounds up. Our next digit is 3, which goes into the first category, so the number rounds down, so the tenth remains the same. That leaves us with 4.4.

Answer:

4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The tenth decimal place is one to the left of the decimal. The hundreth decimal places is two digits to the right and so on an so forth. Knowing this, you apply the basic rules of rouding. If the digit to the left of the digit being rounded is greater than five, the digit is rounded up one and the others are discarded. In this case, the digit to the left of the digit in subject is less than five, 3. Therefore, the tenth decimal stays the same and the others are discarded.

What does "a"equal to?

slamgirl [31]

Distribute on the left side
7.4a+22.2=3.2a+43.2
Subtract 3.2a from both sides
4.2a+22.2=43.2
Subtract 22.2 from both sides
4.2a=21
Divide both sides by 4.2
a=5

What is the probability of getting 6 as a product explanation and calculation

Mrrafil [7]

For an individual die roll, the probability of rolling 6 is \dfrac{1}{6}

Effectively, this problem is asking for P(\text{1st roll is 6}\cap\text{2nd roll is 6})P(1st roll is 6∩2nd roll is 6).

Using the rule of product, this is:

\dfrac{1}{6}\times\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{1}{36}

A boat can travel at an average speed of 10 miles per hour in still water. Traveling with the current, it can travel 6 miles in

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: The speed of the current is 2 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the speed of the boat is:

S = 10 mph.

When the boat travels with the current, the speed will be:

S = 10mph + x

where x = speed of the current.

When the boat travels against the current, the speed will be:

S = 10mph - x

Now, for a given amount of time T, when the boat travels with the current, it moves a distance of 6 miles.

Then we have the equation:

(10mph + x)*T = 6mi

And against the current, in the same time the boat moves 4 mi, then:

(10 mph - x)*T = 4mi

Then we have the system of equations:

(10mph + x)*T = 6mi

(10 mph - x)*T = 4mi

Now, we can take the quotient of these two equations and get:

((10mph + x)*T)/((10 mph - x)*T) = (6mi/4mi)

(10mph + x)/(10 mph - x) = 3/2

Now we can solve this for x.

(10mph + x) = (3/2)*(10 mph - x)

10mph + x = (3/2)*10mph - (3/2)*x

x + (3/2)*x = (3/2)*10mph - 10mph

(5/2)*x = (1/2)*10mph = 5mph

x = (2/5)*5mph = 2mph.

The speed of the current is 2 miles per hour.
