Answer:
3.8 ; 3.79 ; 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
1 gallon is equal to about 3.785 litres
3.785 to the nearest tenth :
Tenth digit = 7 ; round up 8 to 1 and add to 7
Hence,
3.785 = 3.8 (nearest tenth)
3.785 to the nearest hundredth :
Hundredth digit = 8 ; round up next digit 5 to 1 and add to 8
3.785 = 3.79 ( nearest hundredth)
What is the greatest number of whole liters of water you could pour into a one-gallon container without it overflowing?
The greatest Number of whole liters of water that could be poured into a 1 gallon container without it overflowing is 3 liters because, rounding up 3.785 to the nearest integer of 4 means we will exceed the maximum litres by about 0.215 gallons and hence, cause the container to overflow.
