Round the nearest quotient to the nearest tenth
0.47 + 0.03
This is an addition problem. There is no quotient.
so is the answer just 0.5?
That's right.
To round the nearest quotient to the nearest tenth, you need to find the sum of 0.47 and 0.03 first.
Adding 0.47 and 0.03, we get:
0.47 + 0.03 = 0.5
Now, to round the nearest quotient to the nearest tenth, we look at the digit in the hundredths place, which is the next decimal place to the right of the tenths place. In this case, the digit in the hundredths place is 0.
Since the digit in the hundredths place is less than 5, we round down. Therefore, the nearest quotient to the nearest tenth is:
0.5 rounded to the nearest tenth = 0.5
