That's what I would get
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
24 is a whole number so I would believe so
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 30.516- 7.190 = 24

When you are estimating decimal correct.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Unless you are suppose to subtract then estimate which would be 23. Depends which way you are being taught/the book tells you to do
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the same method would go for a problem like 53.042 - 3.350
OpenStudy (anonymous):
53 would b 54
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes exactly the same, anything with .5 will round up anything with .49 and below will round down.

53 since it's below 53.5 would round down.
if it was 53.49 it would round down.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Or if it was 53.5 it would be 54
OpenStudy (anonymous):
54-3
?=51
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Or if it was 53.5 it would be 54
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That one would be 53-3 so it'd be 50.....after your decimal is how you tell to round up or down.
