pre calculus help

Answer 1

Lmao

Answer 2

I think @extrinix can help u

Answer 3

If you’re using a calculator, this is easy to solve, to round it, round it to the nearest whole number (0). To truncate it, round it to the third decimal (0.000).

Answer 4

but how do I round 2/3

Answer 5

Round \(\dfrac{2}{3}\) to the nearest whole number, basically.

Answer 6

so 1?

Answer 7

Yes.

Answer 8

it says rounded to three decimals places and thats 1?

Answer 9

\(\frac{2}{3}=0.6\) (with a line on top of the 6)

So if we're rounding to 3 decimal points we have to have _ . _ _ _
To round to the thousandths place we need the ten thousandths
0.6666
the last 6 is bigger than 5, so we have to round the thousandths place up one

thousandths place + 1 = rounded thousandths place

->0.66 _ (6+1)

Answer 10

im not sure whats happenning

Answer 11

we have to round it to _ . _ _ _ (3 digits after the decimal point)

or fraction is 2/3 which is 0.6666666666666666666, which we have to reduce to only 3 numbers

do you get that?

Answer 12

so 06666.6

Answer 13

no we have 0.66666 continued on, but we have to have 3 digits after the decimal point

Answer 14

how do we get that

Answer 15

so, since we need to have 3 digits after the decimal point, we can first keep the first two, so we have 0.66
to determine the thousandths place, we have to look at the ten thousandths place. If the ten thousandths place number is smaller than 5, the thousandths place stays the same. But if the ten thousandths place is bigger than 5, we have to add one to the thousandths place.

Because 6 is larger than 5, we have to add one more to the thousandths place
0.66 _ (6+1)

Answer 16

0.667?

Answer 17

yep

Answer 18

thats the answer?

Answer 19

that would be rounded to 3 decimal points, yes

Answer 20

wait

Answer 21

The given number truncated to three decimal places is

Answer 22

im not sure what truncated is

Answer 23

truncated is reduced, so what we did above is truncated to 3 decimal places

Answer 24

shortened maybe? so just 0.666

Answer 25

ok

Answer 26

it worked thanks

Answer 27

your welcome

so apparently truncating is just reducing... but without the rounding part

Answer 28

*you're welcome

the hell
