Estimate the same of 9.327 + 5.72 + 4.132 to one decimal place?

Answer 1

19.2

Explanation:

`\\\text{Consider the sum}\\\\9.327 + 5.72 + 4.132\\\\\text{To add the numbers, we add the whole parts together and the decimal parts together}\\\text{so we have}\\\\\ \ 9.327\\5.720\\4.132\\----\\19.179\\\\\text{we need to round the final answer to one decimal place.}\\\text{observe that the second digit after the decimal point is 7, which is greater than 5}\\\\\text{so we'll increase the digit before it by 1, so the sum of the numbers}\\\text{to one decimal place is }19.2`
