Question

Dr. Mann mixed 9.357 g of chemical A, 12.082 g of chemical B, and 7.502 g of chemical C to make 5 doses of medicine. About how much medicine did he make in grams? Estimate the amount of each chemical by rounding to the nearest tenth of a gram before finding the sum. Show all your thinking.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

.

1) About how much medicine did he make in grams?

Dr. Mann mixed

9.357 g of chemical A,

12.082 g of chemical B,

7.502 g of chemical C

We can determine total amount of medicine that was prepared by Dr. Mann by summing up the chemicals (A,B,C)

=( 9.357grams of A + 12.082grams of B+ 7.502grams of C)

= 28.941 grams in total

The next step is to round up those chemicals value to their nearest tenth as asked by question

Dr. Mann mixed

9.357 g of chemical A= 9.4grams

12.082 g of chemical B,=12.1grams

7.502 g of chemical C =7.5grams

2)Estimate the amount of each chemical by rounding to the nearest tenth of a gram before finding the sum.

Then the sum after rounding up to nearest tenth is

(9.4grams +12.1grams + 7.5grams)

=29 gram
