When a number is rounded to to decimal places the result is 13.55 What are 6 numbers which could have been the original number?
The rule when rounding off numbers is "If the first figure to be discarded is 5 or more then the previous figure is increased by 1". 13.55 (2dp) can be obtained from numbers with 3 decimal places ranging from 13.545 to 13.554. Six possibilities for the original number are 13.545, 13.547, 13.549, 13.551, 13.552, 13.554. NOTE : If the choice of original numbers were extended to numbers having (say) 6 decimal places of figures then the six possible numbers could have been chosen from the range 13.545001 to 13.554999
If you start with a number subtract fourteen and then divide twelve the result is 248 What is the original number?
Just work the problem backwards. The answer is 248. Something was divided by 12 in order to get it. If we MULTIPLY 248 by 12, we will find that number. We get 2,976. Now, we need to ADD 14, since 14 had originally been subtracted from the number we're looking for. Adding 14 we get 2,990.

What is the volume of a sphere with rounding to the nearest whole number?
It all depends upon the radius of the sphere, since:volume_of_sphere = 4/3πr3Once that has been calculated, the result is rounded using normal rounding rules - look at the tenths' digit and if it is less than 5 truncate the result to the whole number (ie ignore the decimal part) otherwise add 1 to the result truncated to a whole number.
What is the number of original colonists?

If a number is decreased by 5 and the result is is twice the original number-What is the number?
I had to call my son the computer whiz in LA to help me out on this one. They owed him some time in the massively parallel processor complex where he works, so he logged in and ran this one for me last night. Here's what he came up with:If I drop one of something blindly into a bucket and then I look in the bucket and there are two of them in there, I can logically conclude that the thing that was in there before must have been exactly like the thing I dropped in, and that there used to be one of them where now there are two of them. So the original number was also -5, just like the amount you added.
You have the end result number and know that a base number has been multiplied by 2.75 percent to reach that total What was the original base number?
Give the numbers some names: End result number ==> R Base number ==> B You said that 2.75 percent of B reached R. .0275 B = R Divide both sides of this equation by .0275 B = R / .0275 Divide the 'end result' by 0.0275. The answer will be the 'base number'.
