Answer:
The last method (Round 13.76 to 14, round 9.8 to 10, and round 16.415 to 16; since 14 + 10 + 16 = 40 and 40 is close to 39.975, her answer is reasonable.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Option 1 is unreasonable because removing the decimal points just changes the whole problem and claims that Harshini rode her bike 1376 kilometers on Monday and etc., which she did not. Option 2 is unreasonable because not all the numbers are near 20 and should be rounded to their nearest whole numbers instead to find a more accurate estimate. Option 3 is unreasonable for the same reason as option 2, the numbers should be rounded to their nearest whole numbers instead to find a more accurate estimate. Option 4 is reasonable because the numbers are rounded to the nearest whole numbers which makes the estimate more accurate.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There were three friends and the total fare was $j
Each of the friends pays 
for their cab fare.
Since Angela also paid a $5 Tip
Total Amount Paid by Angela = Share of cab fare + Tip
We can simplify this further by taking the LCM.
The total amount paid by Angela therefore is :
Step-by-step explanation:
-7/2 = -28

Step-by-step explanation:
commutative property of multiplication
3 * 5 means 5 + 5 + 5 which equals 15.
5 * 3 means 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 which equals 15.
Answer:
<h2>0.15 inches per month</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
step one:
This problem is focused on the growth rate of a plant.
given data
the plants grow 5 inches in 34 months
and also that 1 month= 4 weeks
step two:
We can still say that
if 34 months see a growth of 5 inches
then 1 months will be X inches
cross multiply we have
X= 5/32 inches
step three:
converting this number to decimal we have
X= 0.15 inches per month
Therefore the growth rate would be
0.15 inches per month
