Answer 1

Explanation:

The factory produces 132 554 cases in 100 days.

To find the daily cases divide the amount above by 100.

● 132 554/100 = 1325.54

After rounding it we get 1.325.5

Answer 2

1325.5

Explanation:

132554/100 = 1325.54

Round to the nearest tenth which is the first decimal place

We look at the second decimal place which is 4

That is less than 5 so we leave the tenth place alone

1325.5
