Question

Ruth bought 12.762 gallons of gas for $2.759 a gallon, including tax.

About how many whole gallons of gas did Ruth buy? How much did she pay per gallon, rounded to the nearest penny?

Y’all pls help ASAP!! These 5th grade math problems are becoming a real struggle for my 8th grade self. Helping my lil brother

Answer 1

About 13 gallons. Paid $2.76 per gallon rounded

12.762 rounded up is about 13. After tge decimal look at the 7, then 6 next to it. Anything 5 or higher round up. 4 or lower, round down.

Same rules with the amount per gallon.
