Question

Solve for x. Round to the nearest hundredth.

x/24=0.2083

Answer 1

5.00

Explanation:

x/24=0.2083

To isolate x, we need to multiply each side of the equation by 24

x/24 * 24 =0.2083*24

x = 4.9992

We need to round to the nearest hundredth

ones . tenth hundredth

4 . 9 9

We look at the next digit which is also a 9. 9>= 5 so we round up

5.00

Answer 2

5 is your answer

Explanation:

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Multiply 24 to both sides

(x/24)(24) = (0.2083)(24)

x = (0.2083)(24)

Simplify

x = 4.9992

Round to the nearest hundredths place (underlined & bolded): 4.9992

Look at the number to the right of the hundredths place. It is a 9. Because 9 is greater than 5, round up

4.9992 rounded to the nearest hundredth place = 5

5 is your answer
