Answer:

7.89473684 equals to around 7.9

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because in order to distinguish the speed, the formula is distance over time. In this case it would be 300 / 38. Then you divide and end up with the number above. It also says to round to the nearest tenth place which is after the decimal.

Example:

2.4567287 - round to the tenth

5 and up is round up, 4 and down is round down

2.5
