Answer 1

To calculate 0.47 x 8.9 rounded to the nearest option, we first multiply the numbers to get 4.163. Then, we compare 4.163 to the rounding options and find that it is closest to 4.19.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us to round the product of 0.47 and 8.9 to the nearest option given. Let's solve the multiplication first.

0.47 x 8.9 = 4.163

Now, let's look at the options and round 4.163 to the nearest one:

• (a) 4.19: 4.163 is closer to 4.19 than to 4.18
• (b) 4.18: 4.163 is closer to 4.18 than to 4.19
• (c) 0.42: This option is not close to 4.163
• (d) 0.4183: This option is not close to 4.163
• (e) none of these: We have found a rounding option that is close to 4.163, so this option is not correct.

Therefore, the correct option is (a) 4.19.
