Answer: 1.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: "0.995 inches" ; round to the nearest TENTH of an inch.

(which means; round to the nearest "first decimal point" ; and to include the actual first decimal point (and that decimal point only, the "tenths place").

We are given the number: "0.955" . This is given to the nearest THOUSANDS.

We examine the "tenths place": "0.9" . So we know our choices are:

"0.9" (round down to the nearest tenths place); or, "1.0" (round up to the nearest tenths place).

→ We examine the number: "0.955" ; and look to the next value, the "hundredths place".

→ If that digit is 5 or greater (i.e. 5 to 9), we "round up" ; and the correct answer is: "1.0" . If that number is "4" or less (i.e. 0 to 4), we round down; and the correct answer is: "0.9".

________________________________________

In the case of our give value: "0.955" . The digit to the right of "9" is "5" ; so, as previously mentioned, we "round up" ; to: "1.0".

Do not forget to include the units.

The answer is: 1.0 inches.

The answer is (1/3). So first you need to determine the fraction of time the second person worked. Multiply (1/2)x(1/3) and you will get (1/6). All the values need to add up to 1, so you can make the equation (1/2)+(1/6)+x=1. Solve for x and you will get (1/3).

The intensity of an earthquake with a magnitude of 2 is 100 times greater than the intensity of an a standard earthquake .

<h3>What is magnitude of earthquake?</h3>

Magnitude of earthquake is the measure of the size of origin of the earthquake. The magnitude of the earthquake keeps the same value for each place.

An earthquake with a magnitude of about 2. 0 or less is called a micro-earthquake and not felt usually.The intensity of an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.

Let the intensity of this earthquake is <em>n </em>times greater than the intensity of an a standard earthquake. Thus the intensity of standard earthquake can be given as,

$n=10^2\\n=100$
