First, find the digit in the place you are rounding to. Look at the digit one place to the right. If the digit is less than 5, round down. If the digit is 5 or greater, round up.
For example: round 1.86 to the nearest tenth
Look at the tenth digit (8). The number to the right of it is 6. Since it’s above 5, round the 8 up to 9. So you would get 1.9.
If it was 1.84, since 4 is less than 5, you would not round the 8, and you would get 1.8
It takes 5 minutes per square foot (400/180=5) and so 5 minutes per square for 720 squares: 720x5=3,600. 3,600 minutes is equivalent to 60 hours so it takes him 60 hours.
Answer:
2/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say our fraction is x = 0.1818181818...
The trick is to multiply x by 10²=100 in this case, since there are two repeating digits, and then subtract the original x.
So, in fact you are subtracting 0.181818 from 18.181818 which effectively cancels the entire bit after the decimal point.
You get:
100x - x = 18
Which you can solve:
99x = 18
x = 18/99 = 2/11
