Question

52.82 seconds to the nearest seconds?

Answer 1

53 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:
`\begin{gathered} \text{given:} \\ 52.82\text{ seconds} \\ \\ 5\text{ = tens value} \\ 2\text{ = unit value} \\ 8\text{ = tenth value} \\ 2\text{ = hundredth valuegiven:} \\ \end{gathered}`

To round to the nearest seconds, we round the next number after the decimal point

`\begin{gathered} \text{when we round, it becomes 1} \\ \text{Add to the number before the point:} \\ nu\text{mber before point = 5}2 \\ 52\text{ + 1 = 53} \end{gathered}`
`To\text{ the nearest seconds, 53 seconds}`
