Question

During an Alpine Skiing event, the times of four skiers were listed below. Time is measured in seconds. Skier Skier A Skier B Skier C Skier D. Time 114.36 114.40 114.48 114.44. If the stopwatch used was only accurate to the tenth of a second, which skier's time would be different from the others?. Skier A. Skier B. Skier C. Skier D.

Answer 1

The time 114.36 will be different from the others.

The tenth position is the first number after the decimal. The tenth place for 114.40, 114.48, and 114.44 all have a 4.

The only different time is 114.36, which has a 3 in the tenth position.
