Question 1
In the U.S., we represent money values with dollars and cents. There are 100 cents in a dollar. Amounts of money are represented with at most two decimal places (Ex: $4.25). Gas prices are often shown to have more than two decimal places. A gallon of gas costs $3.3842 at Buc-ee's in Daytona Beach, Florida. Use this gas price to round the gas price to the nearest cent (hint: the nearest cent is the hundredths place).
Question 2
You need to stop for gas at Buc-ee's and your car has a gas tank that will hold 14.25 gallons. It is on empty. How much will it cost to fill up the tank using the rounded price of gas from the previous question? You will need to round your cost to the nearest cent. (1 point)

Question 3
Express the price per gallon of gas as a mixed number. Use $3.38 as the price. (You can use the ∑ symbol to type in a fraction).
$3 \frac{19}{50}
Question 1:
To round the gas price to the nearest cent, we look at the hundredths place in the decimal.
The gas price at Buc-ee's is $3.3842. The hundredths place is 4.
Since 4 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.
Therefore, the gas price rounded to the nearest cent is $3.39.
-----------------------
Question 2:
To calculate the cost of filling up the gas tank, we multiply the rounded gas price by the number of gallons the tank can hold.
The rounded gas price is $3.39.
The number of gallons the tank can hold is 14.25.
To find the cost, we multiply $3.39 by 14.25:
$3.39 * 14.25 = $48.2175
Since we need to round the cost to the nearest cent, the hundredths place is 7.
Since 7 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.
Therefore, the cost to fill up the tank, rounded to the nearest cent, is $48.22.
-----------------------
Question 3:
To express the price per gallon of gas as a mixed number, we divide the price by 1 dollar.
The price is $3.38.
To divide $3.38 by 1 dollar, we write it as a fraction:
$3.38 = 3 + 0.38
The mixed number is 3 and 0.38.
Question 1:
To round the gas price to the nearest cent, we need to look at the hundredths place. In this case, the gas price is $3.3842. The digit in the hundredths place is 4. Since the digit is less than 5, we keep the digits in the tenths and ones place as they are and change all digits to the right of the hundredths place to zeros. Therefore, rounding $3.3842 to the nearest cent would give us $3.38.
Answer: $3.38
Question 2:
To calculate the cost of filling up the gas tank, we need to multiply the rounded gas price by the number of gallons in the tank. The rounded gas price is $3.38 (as calculated in the previous question) and the tank holds 14.25 gallons.
To find the cost, we multiply the rounded gas price ($3.38) by the number of gallons (14.25):
Cost = $3.38/gallon * 14.25 gallons = $48.165
To round the cost to the nearest cent, we need to look at the hundredths place. The digit in the hundredths place is 6. Since the digit is equal to or greater than 5, we need to round up. Therefore, rounding the cost to the nearest cent would give us $48.17.
Answer: $48.17
Question 3:
To express the price per gallon of gas as a mixed number, we need to divide the price by 1 and express the fraction as a mixed number. The given price is $3.38 per gallon.
To convert this to a mixed number, we divide $3.38 by 1:
$3.38 ÷ 1 = 3.38
Since there are 100 cents in a dollar, we can express 0.38 as a fraction by dividing it by 100:
0.38 ÷ 100 = 0.0038
So, $3.38 can be expressed as a mixed number as 3 38/100 or 3 19/50.
Answer: 3 19/50
