What else can I help you with?
Is minus 3 smaller than plus 5?
Yes. -3 is smaller than +5. Any negative number is smaller than any positive number.
What is the difference in what you have to do for rounding and estimating?
Estimating is just an educated guess. For example, if you have to solve the problem 102.17 plus 266.18, you would make an educated guess. An educated guess would be 100+ 270 which equals 370. When you are rounding, you will usually get instructions to round a certain number. It is knowing the exact value, but finding the nearest whole number. For example: Round to the nearest hundredth 4.6781 If you are rounding to the nearest hundredth, you are trying to round the number 8, since it is in the hundredths spot. To round 8, look at 1. Is it greater than 5? If the number is greater than 5, round the number up by 1. If the number is smaller than 5, the number remains the same.
What is the method to rounding numbers to the nearest tenth using decimals?
if the number is less than 5 round toward the number 1 if the number greater than a 5 round toward the number 9
What is the probability that the die tossed will land on a number that is smaller than 5?
The probability that the die tossed will land on a number that is smaller than 5 is 4/6 or 2/3. Smaller than 5 is 1 - 4 and 6 is the sample space.
Why is the number 5 the key comparison number in the rounding process?
A number ending in 0 does not require rounding. And 5 is half-way between 1 and 9.
Is minus 3 smaller than plus 5?
Yes. -3 is smaller than +5. Any negative number is smaller than any positive number.
What number is smaller 5 or -10?
15

What numbers could be rounded to 460?
Any number between 455.5 and 464.5 could be rounded to 460. When rounding a number, if the digit to the right of the rounding position is 5 or greater, the rounding position is increased by 1. If the digit is less than 5, the rounding position remains the same. Therefore, any number within this range would round to 460.
When rounding to the nearest whole number why do 5.43 an 4.68 both round to 5?
It's the nature of rounding. When rounding to the nearest whole number, look at the tenths place. If that digit is 4 or less (like the first number) zero it and everything to the right of it out. If that digit is 5 or higher, (like the second number) increase the target digit by one and zero everything to the right of it out. 5.43 is closer to 5 than to 6. 4.68 is closer to 5 than to 4.

Is -8 larger than -5?
-3
Why is the number 5 the key comparison number in the rounding process?
A number ending in 0 does not require rounding. And 5 is half-way between 1 and 9.
How should you round off 4.45?
When rounding off 4.45, you look at the digit immediately to the right of the rounding position, which is 5 in this case. Since 5 is equal to or greater than 5, you round up the rounding position by adding 1 to it. Therefore, rounding off 4.45 to the nearest whole number would result in 5.
Does 4 and up go up when rounding?
No, 4 goes down. When rounding anything less than five you round down. When rounding anything five or more you round up. 4 is less than 5 so you round down. Rounding 4 down would be 0.
What is 5.1 rounded to the nearest whole number?
When rounding a number to the nearest whole number, you look at the decimal place immediately to the right of the whole number. In this case, 5.1 has a tenths place value of 1. Since 1 is less than 5, the whole number remains 5. Therefore, when rounding 5.1 to the nearest whole number, it remains 5.
