Question

What does this equal on the number line?

Answer 1

Round the answer
5.7 as we round down in this instance

Answer 2

so 5.10 or 5.9? But you said round down.....?

Answer 3

We're rounding to the first decimal place
\(\sqrt{33}\) = 5.74
since the second digit is 4 we round the 7 down to keep 7, instead of rounding it up to 8 if it was a 5.

So, you place it 7 bars after the 5

I notice you put 5.10. that would more be 5.1. Any 0 after the last actual number in a decimal doesn't contribute to the number
after 5.9 in this instance comes 6.

Answer 4

Sorry if that explanation was a mess, I tried lol

Answer 5

@Razor Did you understand that?

Answer 6

So we give it a nudge down instead of up..I'm assuming?

Answer 7

Answer 8

Gotcha I'll keep that in mind for future tests thanks

Answer 9

Do note, if it was 5, it would be rounded up, not down
