My number has ones, tenths and hundredths. Rounding to the nearest whole number, you get 4. Rounding it to the nearest tenth, you get 3.5. The number of the hundredths is greater than 3. What number am I?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, we know it has to be 3.5 as our ones, and tenths place, (Thats what I did), and we know it can't be less than 3 for our hundredths place

If we do 0.05, or more as our hundredths place, than we won't be rounding right for the tenths place, so it has to be 3.54

The number in question that shows the decimal digits is; 3.54

We are told that the number has;

- Ones

- tenths

- hundredths

Thus means that the number is in 2 decimal places.

If we approximate to the nearest tenth and get 3.5, it means that the last number on the right of the decimal which is the hundredths is less than 5. It also means that the first number to the right of the decimal will remain as 5.

We are now told that this hundredths number is greater than 3. Thus, the hundredths number is 4.

If the approximation to the nearest whole number gives 4, it means that the number before the decimal will be 3.

Thus,in conclusion, the number is 3.54.
