Answer:

Just because Michelle checked out 20% of her borrowed books were fictions does not mean Michael had more books. For example, Michelle could have borrowed 100 books, which would result into her borrowing 20 fiction books while Michael could have borrowed just 1 fiction book with a 100% of his borrowed books being a fiction book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because Michelle checked out 20% of her borrowed books were fictions does not mean Michael had more books. For example, Michelle could have borrowed 100 books, which would result into her borrowing 20 fiction books while Michael could have borrowed just 1 fiction book with a 100% of his borrowed books being a fiction book.

In other words, percentage is just the simplied ratio of something. Percentage cannot account for the original value and its original value cannot be assumed that it is small just because the percentage is small.

Round 1.49882 nearest to the nearest given place thousandths
I am Lyosha [343]
Okie doke. So, we are rounding this number to the nearest thousandths place, which is three digits behind the decimal. The rules for rounding are if the number is 5 or more in the digit behind it, the number goes up. If it is 4 or less, the number goes back. In other words, we depend on the digit right of the digit we are rounding to in order to see what we do. The number we are rounding is 1.49882. The 8 is in the thousandths place and the 8 is to the right of that, which is the ten thousandths place. Because 8 is greater than 5, the number rounds up. So the number rounded to the nearest thousandth is 1.500.
