Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution for (a) hundredth, (b) tenth and (c) whole number number are $5.78, 5.8 a n d 6$ respectively.

Step by step solution

Part (a) Step 1. Given information

Round decimals: $5.781$

Part (a) Step 2. Calculation

We have, $5.781 = 5.781 \sin c e 8 i s i n h u n d r e d t h p l a c e = 5.781 1 i s r e m o v e d \sin c e i t i s l e s s t h a n 5 = 5.78$

So, $5.781$ rounded to the nearest hundredth is $5.78$

Part (b) Step 1. Calculation

We have,

$5.781 = 5.781 \sin c e 7 i s i n t e n t h p l a c e = 5.781 \sin c e 8 i s g r e a t e r t h a n o r e q u a l t o 5, 1 w i l l b e a d d e d t o 7 = 5.8$

So, $5.781$ rounded to nearest tenth is $5.8$

Part (c) Step 1. Calculation

We have,

$5.781 = 5.781 \sin c e 5 i s i n o n e s p l a c e = 5.781 \sin c e 7 i s g r e a t e r t h a n o r e q u a l t o 5, 1 w i l l b e a d d e d t o 5 = 6$

So, $5.781$ rounded to nearest whole number is $6$ .
