Question

1) The number 79 has been rounded to the nearest unit. Find its lower and upper bounds,

Answer 1

Answer:

Lower bound: 78.5

Upper bound: 79.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is rounded to the nearest unit, we will subtract 1/2 to get the lower bound, and add 1/2 to get the higher bound.

If it were rounded for example to the nearest first decimal place, the number we will use is going to be 0.1 / 2
