Final answer:
Create a number with a decimal that, when rounded to the nearest whole number, results in 8, such as 7.5 through 7.9.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question involves creating a number according to specific rules, with the help of dragging cards. The first rule is that the number must end in the tenths place. The second rule is that when the number is rounded, 8 should be the nearest whole number. Given the information that rounding is based on the significance of digits and how specific digits cause the rounding of other digits, you must construct a decimal that, when rounded to the nearest ones place, results in the number 8. To satisfy both conditions, consider the following: since we need to round to 8 at the ones place, the tenths digit must be 5 or higher because a number with 0.5 or higher in the tenths place will round up to the next whole number. Therefore, a number like 7.5 or higher but less than 8 will meet the criteria, since rounding it to the nearest ones place will result in 8. For example, the number 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, or 7.9 all round to 8 when rounded to the nearest ones place. The exact number you create will depend on the cards available.
