How to approximate to 3 significant figures

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

We round a number to three significant figures in the same way that we would round to three decimal places. We count from the first non-zero digit for three digits. We then round the last digit. We fill in any remaining places to the right of the decimal point with zeros.

Water is filling a swimming pool at a constant rate. After 4 hours, 2 inches of water have filled the pool. Write an equation th

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Inches per hour is the rate we are looking for here, which will then be the slope of the linear equation. Slope is the same thing as the rate of change. While this may not seem all that important right now, it's actually a HUGE concept in higher math, especially calculus!

If the pool is filling at a rate of 2 inches per every 4 hours, then by dividing, we get that the rate is 1 inch every 2 hours, which translates to a slope of 1/2. Creating an equation with this slope:

$w=\frac{1}{2}t$ Let's check it. We are told that after 4 hours there are 2 inches of water in the pool. That means if we plug in 4 for t and solve for w, we should get w = 2:
