Answer 1

Let's start by rounding then

For 3.45, what would that round up to?

Answer 2

i don't know

Answer 3

Let's do an example:

Let's take the numbers 9.58 and 8.24

What you want to do is check the last number. For 9.58, the last number is 8

Next you want to see if that number is less than five, or if it's equal or greater than 5. In this case, it is greater. If it is greater, we want to take the number that is left of the 8 and add one to it, while getting rid of the 8.

9.58 rounds to 9.6 (We added one to the 5, which was left of the 8. We also got rid of the 8)

For 8.24, the last number is 4.

This time though, the number to the left is 2 and that number is less than 5. So we simply just get rid of the 4, making it 8.2

Answer 4

wait so i'm guessing the answer is C
