Question

Paul wins 1500metres in 4,67metres .(c) write down his average in metres per minutes correct to: (I) The nearest Whole number ( ii ) One decimal place ( iii ) Two decimal places ( iv ) Three significant figures​

Answer 1

(I) The nearest whole number is 317.5 meters per minute.

(ii) One decimal place is 317.5 meters per minute.

(iii) Two decimal places is 317.47 meters per minute.

(iv) Three significant figures is 317 meters per minute.

Note: To find the average velocity, divide the distance traveled by the time it took to travel that distance. 1500 meters / 4.67 minutes = 322.2 m/min. But since you want the answer rounded to different degrees, you can round the answer accordingly.
