Answer:

It's because of the decimal of .8

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be confusing but since its not a whole number when you multiply with a whole number gets smaller instead of bigger. So the whole number basically has to give some of it to the decimal so, that the outcome can be a whole number.

Sorry, if this isn't the best!

Answer:

80% of 8.75=7. I'm pretty sure this is the reason.

Estimate the total weight of two boxes that weigh 9.4 and 62.6 pounds using rounding and compatible numbers. which estimate is c
Anit [1.1K]
With rounding:
4 is less than 5 so we round it down to whole number:
9.4\approx9

6 is more than 5 so we round it up to whole number:
62.6\approx63

Now we have to add rounded numbers
63+9=72

Without rounding:
62.6+9.4 to make it more visible I will write it differently:

62+9+0.6+0.4 is equal to 62.6+9.4

we can see that 0.6+0.4 is equal to 1

so:
62+9+1=72

<span>As you see in this example those equations are equal so it doesn't matter if you take rounded numbers or not, it may be different in case like 62.4+9.4  ( 0.4 is just an example it could be any other number between 0-4 ) because in this case it will be equal 71 and another example 62.5+9.5 (in this case 0.5 is just an example, it can be any other number between 5-9 :) ) and here, answer for this equation is 73.</span>

Please help to the best of ur ability plz

She went 3.5 feet per second down for 90 seconds
3.5*90 = 315 feet below
2.2*30 = 66 feet up
315-66 = 249 feet below.

So, she must go up at 4.8 feet per second.
249/4.8 = 51.875 seconds
52 seconds when rounded
