Answer:
12 books
Explanation:
Since there are 82 students who in total read 1000 books, we need to find how many books each student read. To do that; Divide the number of books read by the number of students who read those books. Then round your answer to the nearest whole number as an estimate. In otherwords, in "tenths place".
Step 1: Divide 1000 by 82
Now to round up. To round a number to the nearest whole number, you have to look at the first digit after the decimal point. If this digit is less than 5 (1, 2, 3, 4) we don't have to do anything, but if the digit is 5 or greater (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) we must round up. Since the digit after our result is less than 5, we do nothing.
Step 2: Round
in the nearest whole number
Therefore, the average number of books the student read rounded to the nearest whole number is 12 books.
