Question

If each number is rounded to the nearest whole number, which statement is true?

A = 6.9 + 8.3

B = 6.2 + 8.5

A < B
A > B
A = B

Answer 1

A=B.

Explanation:

6.9 rounded is 7.

8.3 rounded is 8.

7+8=15.

6.2 rounded is 6.

8.5 rounded is 9.

6+9=15.

They both equal 15 so it would be A=B.

Tip: When the number is .4 or lower, you round down. when its .5 and higher, you round up. So 4.3 is 4, but 4.5 is 5.
