Ten people in a picnic have 15 apples in total. How many, on average, does someone have?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
15/10=1.5, but someone can't have 1.5 apples, thus you round it to 1 apple on average per person.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I am waiting on you sam -

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Unless they're serving apple sauce, in which case that's a different story.

when you are rounding there is a magic # it is 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
anything over 5 goes up and anything below stays the same
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its rounded to 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
your question is 0.2
better question is ROUNDED THIS TO THE NEXT WHOLE #
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes you are absolutely correct

ok - we have to round this to the nearest TENTH place. First place after the decimal\\so look at 1.21 - round to the nearest tenth place
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1.20 ? ;s
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
round .2 to the nearest TENTH place
then divide the numbers and that iss the estimate
OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at it as .20
but easier - if the digit is in the place you need rounding to - LEAVE IT
try again
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes, so what is
1.20/.20 =
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
