What if 35.78 is rounding to the nearest whole second?
It is closer to 36 than it is to 35.
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.
What are the rules to Estimating products and quotients of mixed numbers?
Estimating sumsUse rounded numbers to estimate sums.Example 1Give an estimate for the sum of 19.61 and 5.07 by rounding to the nearest tenth.Round each number to the nearest tenth.Example 2Estimate the sum of 19.61 + 5.07 by rounding to the nearest whole number.Round each number to a whole number.Estimating differencesUse rounded numbers to estimate differences.Example 3Give an estimate for the difference of 12.356 - 5.281 by rounding to the nearest whole number.Round each number to the nearest whole number.Now subtract.So 12.356 - 5.281 ≈ 7.Estimating productsUse rounded numbers to estimate products.Example 4Estimate the product of 4.7 × 5.9 by rounding to the nearest whole number.Round each number to a whole number.So 4.7 × 5.9 ≈ 30.Again, in decimals, as in whole numbers, if both multipliers end in .5, or are halfway numbers, rounding one number up and one number down will give you a better estimate of the product.Example 5Estimate the product of 7.5 × 8.5 by rounding to the nearest whole number.You can also round the first number down and the second number up and get this estimate.In either case, your approximation will be closer than it would be if you rounded both numbers up, which is the standard rule.Estimating quotientsUse rounded numbers to estimate quotients.Example 6Estimate the quotient of 27.49 ÷ 3.12 by rounding to the nearest whole number.Round each number to the nearest whole number.
What is 52 rounded to the nearest 10nth place?
50 becuase you use the rounding rules. If the second number is 5 or higher then you round up if it is 4 or lower than it rounds down.
What is 15.992 to the nearest tenth?
When rounding to the nearest tenth (or other fraction), you always look at the next number. Here, in 15.992 the next number is 9 (second place after decimal point), therefore it rounds up. As the next number (first place after decimal point) is also 9, this also rounds up, giving the result of 16.0. (If the number to round would be for example 15.945, the result rounded to the nearest tenth would be 15.9)
A bag of kale chip weigh 5.336 ounces. round the weight of the bag to the nearest of an ounce?
The correct answer is 5.3 ounces. Step-by-step explanation: When you are rounding to the nearest 10th it means that you are rounding to one decimal place. When doing this you will keep the first number after the decimal point if the second number is less than 5. You will round up to the next number when the second number is 5 or more. Since the number is 5.336, rounded to the nearest 10th is 5.3.
What is 6050.287 rounded to the nearest ten Rounding decimals?
If you are rounding to the nearest tenth (the first decimal position), it is 6050.3, since the 8 in the hundredths position would cause the 2 to round up to 3. If you are rounding to the nearest tens (not a decimal, but the second position to the left of the decimal point), it is 6050. If you are rounding to the nearest 10 decimal places, it is 6050.2870000000.
What is the nearest hundredth to 52.5625?
The nearest hundredth to 52.5625 is 52.56. When rounding off a number to the nearest a hundredth, you will look at the third digit after the decimal place. If it is less than five, the number is dropped but if the number is between five and nine, the second digit after the decimal increases by one.
What if 35.78 is rounding to the nearest whole second?
It is closer to 36 than it is to 35.

How do you round 1.89 to the nearest tenth?
The tenths, on either side of 1.89 are 1.8 which is at a distance of 1.89 - 1.8 = 0.09, and 1.9 which is at a distance of 1.9 - 1.89 = 0.01. The second is the nearest, so the answer is 1.9
What is 52 rounded to the nearest 10nth place?
50 becuase you use the rounding rules. If the second number is 5 or higher then you round up if it is 4 or lower than it rounds down.
What is 8.38 rounded to the nearest tenth?
well, when you are rounding to tenths, you are rounding the numeral directly to the right of the decimal either up to the next highest numeral, or you are leaving it as is. if the second number after the decimal (the hundredths place) is 5 or higher, you round up. If 4 or lower, you round down. You only check that number, and no others, when rounding up at this level of thinking.so, as a result, 8.38 rounded to the nearest tenth is 8.4if it were 8.345, it would be 8.3 rounded to the nearest tenths even though rounded to the hundredths it would be 8.35 and 8.35 rounded to the tenths is 8.4. however if there is such a version of rounding, which could be possible and has been done by me by mistake in the past, I don't know of it.
How do you round need help with homework?
First you have to know what your rounding to. A common example is rounding to a whole number. So if I were to round 4.3 to the nearest whole number, I would see that this number is in between 4 and 5 and those are the two nearest whole numbers. In this case, it is closer to 4.0, so I would round down to 4. If I was told to round up and not just round, I would go up to 5.0 or 5. You can also round to the nearest 10, 100, 1000 and so on. And on the other side of the decimal point you could round to the nearest 10th (the first number to the right of the decimal), 100th (the second number) and so on.
What is 15.072 rounded two decimal places?
Do you know what a decimal place is? You need to know the theory first. The decimal point is represented by a full stop between 5 and 0 in this number. Rounding is the practise of simplifying numbers to their nearest common number (specified in the question, to the nearest 10/100 etc...). In this example the second decimal place is the 7, you need to simplify to this point by rounding its neighbours to the right to their nearest 10... I.E. the 2 rounds to 0. <5 rounds to 0, > or equal to 5 rounds to 10. Your answer is 15.07.
What is 15.992 to the nearest tenth?
When rounding to the nearest tenth (or other fraction), you always look at the next number. Here, in 15.992 the next number is 9 (second place after decimal point), therefore it rounds up. As the next number (first place after decimal point) is also 9, this also rounds up, giving the result of 16.0. (If the number to round would be for example 15.945, the result rounded to the nearest tenth would be 15.9)
