Question

The question is:

Use rounding to determine whether the following answers are reasonable.
1. 96 ÷ 48 = 20
2. 713 ÷ 99 = 72
but i am confused on what it means?

Answer 1

Hi there,

What the question is asking is to divide the following equations then round to the nearest whole number to see if the answers given are reasonable.

-------------------------------------------------

Number 1 says that: 96 ÷ 48 = 20

Lets Check: 96 / 48 = 2

So the answer given for number 1 is not reasonable with the actual answer of 2!

Number 1: False

-------------------------------------------------

Number 2 says that: 713 ÷ 99 = 72

Lets Check: 713 / 99 = 7.20202020... = 7

So the answer given for number 2 is also not reasonable with the actual answer of 7!

Number 2: False

-------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helps :)
