We have to round the number 83.5851 to the nearest hundredth.
If the next smallest place is greater than or equal to 5 we increase the value of the digit we are rounding to by one.
83.5851 ≈ 83.59
Answer: 83.59
<u>Answer</u>
B(18/5,0)
<u>Explanation</u>
First we find the coordinates of C;
C (x, y) = [(-3+7)/2, (2+6)/2]
= (2, 4)
Find the equation of CD.
slope = (6-2)/(7--3)
= 4/10 = 2/5
slope of CD = -5/2
-5/2 = (y - 4)/(x - 2)
-5/2(x - 2) = y - 4
(-5/2) x + 5 = y - 4
y = (-5/2)x + 9
For the x-intercept y = 0
∴ y = (-5/2)x + 9
0 = (-5/2)x + 9
5/2 x = 9
x = 2/5 × 9
= 18/5
x-intercept = (18/5, 0)
You want to know the factor by which 3 2/3 is multiplied to get 7 1/3.
1. You can estimate that it is 2 from 7/3 ≈ 2, then check by multiplication to see if that is right.
.. 2*(3 2/3) = 6 4/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . 2 is the correct factor.
2. You can divide 7 1/3 by 3 2/3 to see what the factor is.
.. (7 1/3)/(3 2/3) = (22/3)/(11/3) = 22/11 = 2 . . . . 2 is the factor Earl used.
3. You could see how many times you can subtract 3 2/3 from 7 1/3.
.. 7 1/3 -3 2/3 = (7 -3) +(1/3 -2/3) = 4 -1/3 = 3 2/3 . . . . . subtracting once gives 3 2/3
.. 3 2/3 -3 2/3 = 0 . . . . . . subtracting twice gives 0, so the factor is 2.
4. You could add 3 2/3 to see how many times it takes to get 7 1/3.
.. 3 2/3 +3 2/3 = (3 +3) +(2/3 +2/3) = 6 +4/3 = 7 1/3
We only need to add two values of 3 2/3 to get 7 1/3, so the factor is 2.
