please help me i will medal and fan The exact times, in seconds, of four sprinters from a school track meet are as follows: Sprinter Sprinter A Sprinter B Sprinter C Sprinter D Time 132.38 132.31 132.29 132.25 If the stopwatch used was precise only to the tenths place, which sprinter's time is different from the others? Sprinter A Sprinter B Sprinter C Sprinter D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be A?

OpenStudy (afrodiddle):

Well, estimate the hundredths to the tenths and tell me the new sprinter times.

OpenStudy (afrodiddle):

You are correct! do you know why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes because the 8 in the hundredths rounds up

OpenStudy (afrodiddle):

When estimating, everyone's time becomes 132.3 But A, estimates to 132.4 Good job!
