Question

Approximate √700 to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

10√7 or 26.5

Explanation:

√700 to the nearest tenth is 10√7 or 26.5

√ = square root of a number

√700 = √7 ⋅√100 = 2.645 ⋅ 10 = 26.45

Answer 2

The square root of 700 (√700) is 26.4575131106

The tenths place is the first number after the decimal. In this case the number in the tenths place is...

26.4575131106

To determine if you round up or stay the same you must look at the number after the 4 in the tenths place. In this case the number after the 4 decimal is 5.

A number will round up if this number (5) is 5 or greater. If it is smaller then 5 then the decimal will not round up.

In this case this means that the 4 will round up...

26.5
