Estimate the answer by rounding. 84 - 18 the anwser is 66 but if your estimating it would b 60 am i right

OpenStudy (ja1):

Not quite.

OpenStudy (ja1):

The rule is that if a number is 5 and above it rounds up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 66 closer to 60 or 70?

OpenStudy (ja1):

4 and under it goes down

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I'd say 84 is close to 85. 18 is close to 20. 84 - 18 is close to 85 - 20, so it's approximately 65.

OpenStudy (ja1):

OHHH you have to round the question too O_O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yea @mathstudent55 could be right too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ja i tired 70 n it was wrong

OpenStudy (ja1):

no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is closer to 40? 6 or 4

OpenStudy (ja1):

6.

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

depends if you are rounding to the nearest ten, then it would be 80 - 20 = 60

OpenStudy (ja1):

^

OpenStudy (ja1):

Question is pretty vauge.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i think @mathstudent55 did it right

OpenStudy (ja1):

Yah I do too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so because 6 is closer to 10 just right to a higher number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my little sister has math hw like this..its stupid but yea that's how its done apparently

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You can also say 84 is close to 80. 18 is close to 20. 84 - 18 is close to 80 - 20 = 60. So it's approximatley 60.

OpenStudy (ja1):

Exactly ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh boy..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is a two way question there should be more information.

OpenStudy (ja1):

All I know is that 5 and up rounds up, 4 and down rounds down. This question is missin context.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it multiple answer or fill in the blank??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because i believe it is 70

OpenStudy (anonymous):
