Question

The Mississippi River flows at a rate of 16 , 790 16,79016, comma, 790 cubic meters per second. Choose the best approximation of the flow rate of the Mississippi River.

Answer 1

Answer:

$16,790\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The best approximation of the flow rate of the Mississippi River is $16,790\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}$.

Answer 2

Answer: 16,800 cubic meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Mississippi River flows at a rate of 16,790 cubic meters per second.

To choose the best approximation of the flow rate of the Mississippi River, we will round up the figure to the nearest hundred which is

16,800 cubic meters per second
