OpenStudy (anonymous):

Depends how much you need to round it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you try?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ireally have no idea how to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u have asked several on this - pls stop and try to figur this out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the magic # when rounding?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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 - pls what is the magic # when rounding

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Unless they're serving apple sauce, in which case that's a different story.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try this one 1.7 round to next whole #

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perfect how about .8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I said .8 not 8 close but look at my decimal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rounding to the next whole #

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

GREAT.....you got it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankss ok do you know how do this ? it says estimate. 1.21 dived by 0.2 could you explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

enjoy your studies s- but i really needed to stop and make sure you understood these. OK - keep posting so that we can keep Boosting your confidence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first wwhen you divide the numbers whata did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh - sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says estimate so that means round to the nearest whole number whata is the nearest whole # of 1.21? of 0.2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

round 1.21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.21 = 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes correct confirm this: 1.21 dived by 0.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think you got a decimal in the wrong place

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no , thats what it says

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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):

i dont know how to round that one

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):

wouldnt it stay .20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, so what is 1.20/.20 =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really have no clue what to do now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

calculator 1.20 divided by .20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1.20 \div .20 = 6\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 6 based on esstimation you ok? followed that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i get it thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):
