Answer:

0.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The second digit to the right of the decimal is the hundredths place.  We look at the thousandths place to determine how to round.  5 or above round up.  Since it is a 1 we leave it alone

Answer:

0.72

Step-by-step explanation:

First, note that 0.721 has two parts. The integer part to the left of the decimal point and the fractional part to the right of the decimal point:

Integer Part: 0

Fractional Part: 721

To round 0.721 to the nearest hundredth means to round the numbers so you only have two digits in the fractional part.

We use the following rules to round 0.721 to the nearest hundredth:

A) If the last digit in the fractional part of 0.721 is less than 5, then simply remove the last the digit of the fractional part.

B) If the last digit in the fractional part of 0.721 is 5 or more and the second digit in the fractional part is less than 9, then add 1 to the second digit of the fractional part and remove the third digit.

C) If the last digit in the fractional part of 0.721 is 5 or more and the second digit in the fractional part is 9, and the first digit in the fractional part is less than 9, then add 1 to the first digit in fractional part and make the second digit in fractional part 0. Then remove the third digit.

D) If the last digit in the fractional part of 0.721 is 5 or more and the second digit in the fractional part is 9, and the first digit in the fractional part is 9, then add 1 to the integer part and make the fractional part.

With 0.721, rule A applies and 0.721 rounded to the nearest hundredth is: <u>0.72.</u>  Hope it helps! :)

the perimeter of a square is equal to the perimeter of an equilateral triangle the length of a side of the square is given by th
diamong [38]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the length of a side of the square is x.

Now, perimeter of square = 4 × side length

Perimeter of square = 4x

Also,we are told that the triangle is equilateral and a side is (x + 1).

Thus, perimeter of triangle = 3(x + 1)

Since we are told that the perimeter of the square is equal to that of the equilateral triangle. Thus;

4x = 3(x + 1)

4x = 3x + 3

Subtract 3x from both sides to get;

4x - 3x = 3

x = 3

Heidi solved the equation 3(x + 4) + 2 = 2 + 5(x – 4). Her steps are below: 3x + 12 + 2 = 2 + 5x – 20 3x + 14 = 5x – 18 14 = 2x
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 4) + 2 = 2 + 5(x – 4)

Step 1: distributive property

3(x + 4) + 2 = 2 + 5(x – 4)

3x + 12 + 2 = 2 + 5x - 20

Step 2: collect like terms

3x + 12 + 2 = 2 + 5x - 20

3x + 14 = 5x - 18

Step 3: Addition property of equality

3x + 14 = 5x - 18

3x + 14 + 18 = 5x - 18 + 18

3x + 32 = 5x

Step 4: subtraction property of equality

3x + 32 - 3x = 5x - 3x

32 = 2x

Step 5: division property of equality

32 = 2x

32/2 = 2x/2

16 = x

x = 16
