Question

A car takes 50.4 seconds to travel 1 mile. How long does it take the car to travel 3.7 miles​? First round to the nearest whole number to find the estimated answer. Then find the exact answer.

Answer 1

If you round the numbers 50.4 and 3.7, you would have 50 and 4

You just need to multiply them and 50*4 = 200.

To be exact, just multiply 50.4 and 3.7, so...

50.4*3.7 = 186.48

Rounded: 200 seconds.

Exact: 186.48 seconds.

Answer 2

Rounded: 187 Exact: 186.48

Explanation:

50.4 x 3.7(miles) = 186.48

Rounding this to the nearest whole number would be 187.
