Round to the nearest 10th

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the proportion 10/u = 17/7 for u, cross multiply:

10 * 7 = 17 * u

70 = 17u

Now divide both sides of the equation by 17:

70/17 = u

u ≈ 4.1

Apologies for the oversight. To round the answer to the nearest tenth, we'll consider the decimal places after the tenths place.

Upon evaluating 70/17, the decimal result is approximately 4.1176. When rounded to the nearest tenth, it becomes 4.1. Therefore, the answer rounded to the nearest tenth is 4.1.

Answer 6

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To solve the proportion 10/u = 17/7 for u, we can set up a cross-multiplication equation.

First, cross-multiply:

7 * 10 = 17 * u

Simplify:

70 = 17u

To isolate u, divide both sides of the equation by 17:

70/17 = u

The solution for u is approximately 4.12 when rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answer 7

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To solve the proportion 10/u = 17/7 for u, we can use cross-multiplication.

First, we multiply the numerator of the first fraction (10) by the denominator of the second fraction (7):

10 * 7 = 70

Next, we multiply the denominator of the first fraction (u) by the numerator of the second fraction (17):

u * 17 = 17u

Now we have:

70 = 17u

To solve for u, we need to isolate it. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 17:

70/17 = 17u/17

Simplifying the fraction on the left side gives:

4.1176 ≈ u

Therefore, the approximate value of u is 4.1 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
