Round 691 to 1 significant figure!

2 answers:

6 0

Rounding to 1 significant figure means writing the number with only 1 non-zero figure.

Thus rounding 691 to 1 significant figure, means writing 691 as 700.

Answer: 700

Remark: if we were asked to round to 2 significant figure, we would round the number as 690

The correct answer is: 700

Explanation:

In order to round to 1 significant figure, ALWAYS REMEMBER, we will look at the first digit of the number, and make sure that it is not zero (zero case will be discussed at the end, as in this particular example zero is not the first digit).

In 691, the first digit at hundredth place is 6. Now we will look at the next digit. In this case, the next digit is 9, which is greater than 5, therefore, the 6 will round off to 7, and rest of the digits will become zero to round it off to one significant figure. Hence, the answer is 700.

(EXTRA INFORMATION) Zero case:

If we have the following number: 0.951. Now the first digit is 0, but as there is a decimal point after that, therefore, it is insignificant. We will move on to the first digit after the decimal point, which is 9 in this case. Now, we will look at the next number. In this case it is 5, therefore, 0.951 is closer to 1.0 after rounding off. Hence, in this case the answer will be 1.0.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

This graph could describe a relay race.

Jamie writes a scenario that can be modeled by the piecewise function on the graph.

The graph has time, in minutes on the x-axis and the distance, in miles on the y-axis.

The first part of the graph is the line starting from the origin through to the point (12, 1) then the second part starts from the point (12, 1) and ends on the point (20, 2).

1. A runner begins the race and runs at a steady pace for 1 minute.

This is incorrect as describes the wrong axis.

It should say: a runner begins a race and runs at a steady pace for 12 minutes, completing 1 mile distance.

The equation for this part:

y = mx + b
b = 0 as it starts at origin.
m = 1/12
y = 1/12x
x = [0, 12], y = [0, 1]

2. His partner then takes over and runs at a steady, but faster, pace for another 1 minute.

Again, as above, wrong axis is described.

It should say: his partner then takes over and runs at a steady, but faster, pace for another 8 minutes, completing the last 1 mile of the race.

The equation for this part:

b =1, as a starting point
m = (2-1)/(20-12) = 1/8
y = 1/8x + 1
x = (12, 20], y = (1, 2]

9400 dollars is placed in an account with an annual interest rate of 6.25%. To the nearest tenth of a year, how long will it tak

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

$t=64.2\ years$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+rt)$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

$t=?\ years\\ P=\$9,400\\ A=\$47,100\\r=6.25\%=6.25/100=0.0625$

substitute in the formula above

$47,100=9,400(1+0.0625t)$

solve for t

$t=[(47,100/9,400)-1]\0.0625$

$t=64.2\ years$

LESSON 1 SESSION 1

Answer:

Between which two tens does it fall? Between 25 and 26 tens

Between which two hundreds does it fall? Between 2 and 3 hundreds

Explanation:

The place-value chart is:

Hundreds Tens Ones

2 5 3

a) Between which two tens does it fall?

Using the place values you can write 253 = 25 × 10 + 3, i.e. 25 tens and 3 ones.

From that you can write:

250 < 253 < 260

250 = 25 × 10 = 25 tens

260 = 26 × 10 = 26 tens

Then, you conclude that 253 is between 25 and 26 tens.

b) Between which two hundreds does it fall?

Using the same reasoning:

253 = 2 × 100 + 5 × 10 + 3 = 253

200 < 253 < 300

200 = 2 hundreds

300 = 3 hundreds

Conclusion: 253 is between 2 hundreds and 3 hundreds.

I believe this would be 28 feet. You find this by dividing 7/8 to get the decimal of the fraction. (Which is 0.875) Then multiply by 32 ft to get the answer. Hope this helps!
