Question

What is the area of georgina rounded to the nearest mile 59,424.77

Answer 1

Answer:  

59,425 sq mi  

Step-by-step explanation:  

When you want to round to the units place, you look at the digit in the number that is in the place to the right of that: the tenths place. Here, that digit is 7, which is more than 4. Because that digit is more than 4, 1 is added to the units place and all the digits to the right of that are dropped.  

This gives you 59,424 +1 = 59,425.    

If the tenths digit were 4 or less, no change would be made to values in the units place or to the left of that. The tenths digit and digits to the right would be dropped.  

... 59,424.3 ⇒ 59,424 . . . . . for example
