How do you round to the nearest tenth??
To round a number to the nearest tenth, look at the digit in the hundredths place. If it is 5 or greater, round up the digit in the tenths place. If it is 4 or less, round down the digit in the tenths place. For example:
- 3.67 rounded to the nearest tenth is 3.7 (since 7 is greater than 5, round up the 6 in the tenths place)
- 4.38 rounded to the nearest tenth is 4.4 (since 8 is greater than 5, round up the 3 in the tenths place)
- 5.24 rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.2 (since 2 is less than 5, round down the 4 in the tenths place)
Oh... okau..
Glad to help! Let me know if you have any other questions.
What is rounded to thee nearest tenth 5.10?
5.10 rounded to the nearest tenth is 5.1. Since the digit in the hundredths place (0) is less than 5, we round down the digit in the tenths place (1) and leave it unchanged.
Tom has a water tank that holds 5 gallons of water.
Part A
Tom uses water from a full tank to fill 6 bottles that each hold 16 ounces and a pitcher that holds 1/2 gallon.
How many ounces of water are left in the water tank?
Enter your answer in the box.
ounces
Part B
Tom drinks 4 pints of water a day.
How many full tanks of water will he drink in 30 days?
Enter your answer in the box.
full tanks of water
Part A:
The pitcher holds 1/2 gallon, which is equal to 64 ounces (since 1 gallon = 128 ounces).
Six bottles at 16 ounces each is a total of 6 x 16 = 96 ounces.
So, the total amount of water that Tom uses to fill the bottles and pitcher is 64 + 96 = 160 ounces.
Since there are 128 ounces in 1 gallon, we know that 5 gallons of water would be equal to 5 x 128 = <<5*128=640>>640 ounces.
To find out how many ounces of water are left in the tank, we can subtract the amount of water used from the total capacity of the tank:
640 - 160 = <<640-160=480>>480 ounces.
So, there are 480 ounces of water left in the tank.
Answer for Part A: 480 ounces.
Part B:
Tom drinks 4 pints of water a day. Since there are 8 pints in 1 gallon, Tom drinks 4/8 = 1/2 gallon of water per day.
In 30 days, he will drink 30 x (1/2) = 15 gallons of water.
Since each tank holds 5 gallons, we need to divide 15 gallons by 5 gallons per tank to find out how many tanks he will drink:
15 / 5 = <<15/5=3>>3 tanks.
So, Tom will drink 3 full tanks of water in 30 days.
Answer for Part B: 3 full tanks of water.
A cereal box has a height of 32 centimeters. It has a base with an area of 160 square centimeters.
What is the volume, in cubic centimeters, of the cereal box?
Enter your answer in the box.
cubic centimeters
The volume of a cereal box is given by the formula:
Volume = base area x height
We are given that the height of the cereal box is 32 centimeters, and the base has an area of 160 square centimeters.
So, the volume of the cereal box is:
Volume = 160 cm² x 32 cm = 5120 cubic centimeters.
Therefore, the volume of the cereal box is 5120 cubic centimeters.
Answer: 5120 cubic centimeters.
To round a number to the nearest tenth, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the digit in the hundredth place. The digit immediately to the right of the tenths place is the hundredth place.
2. Determine if the digit in the hundredth place is 5 or greater. If the digit is 5 or greater, you will round up. If it is less than 5, you will round down.
3. If you need to round up, add 1 to the digit in the tenths place. If you need to round down, leave the digit in the tenths place as it is.
4. Replace the digits after the tenths place with zeros.
Here's an example:
Let's say we have the number 3.47 and we want to round it to the nearest tenth.
1. The digit in the hundredth place is 4.
2. Since 4 is less than 5, we will round down.
3. The digit in the tenths place remains the same, which is 4.
4. Replace the digits after the tenths place with zeros, and the rounded number is 3.4.
