Whats 17.7 rounded to the nearest tenth of a degree?

Answer 17

.7 is the tenth

so the answer is 18?

Answer 19

no , u keep it the decimal . a TENTH is 1/10 of a number. so its the first place after the decimal...

Answer 20

I don't get it...Please explain?

Answer 21

the number 17.7 : the 1 is the tens place, 7 is hte ones place, .7 is the TENTHS place. so when it asks for the tenth place, it wants the number up until that place: which owuld be 17.7

Answer 22

Okay Thank you.. But I just put that in and it says its wrong

Answer 23

hmmmm.... does it want hte TENs or TENTHs place?

Answer 24

the tenths place

Answer 25

that is strange. where are you putting this into?

Answer 26

a math program for my math class

Answer 27

well the number after the decimal is the tenths place.

Answer 28

yes, aren't you suppose to round up because the number is 7?

Answer 29

but you round to that number.. wats the number after the 7?

Nope its wrong...but thank yu anyway...

Answer 33

oh. well thats awkward. lol sorry

Answer 34

lOl it said the answer was 147.2

Answer 35

thats not even possible. F is always a bigger number than C. if F is 38, C is gonna be really small....

Answer 36

Thats wat Im saying, idk... but this is how it has the formula f=9/5c+32
=9/5(64)+32
=147.2

Answer 37

where did it get 64 from????

Answer 38

i had to convert 64 degrees C to degrees F

Answer 39

oy vey.

Answer 40

Idk ma...

Answer 41

But (64)+32 = 96 so I dn't get it

Answer 42

but u need to multiply by 9/5

Answer 43

but that gives me 172.8
or did i do it wrong?

Answer 44

u did it wrong.... it shoudl be 147.2

Answer 45
