HI, I'm stuck on two questions(:
Round the number to the thousandths place.
97093.113469
Is it
97093.113 < -- ?
97093.112
97093.114
97000
Without multiplying, determine the sign of the product.
(19)(-2)(37)(-0.8)(112)
Postive
Negative <-- ?
The product is zero
No. There are two negatives and three positives.
Thanks @Ms.Sue
So the answer will be positve..
and did I get the first one incorrect?
Yes, the first one is correct. And the second is positive.
You're welcome.
To round a number to the thousandths place, you need to look at the digit in the fourth decimal place. In this case, the number is 97093.113469, so the fourth decimal place has a digit 4. Since the digit 4 is less than 5, you want to keep the digits before the fourth decimal place the same and change all the digits after the fourth decimal place to zero.
Thus, the rounded number to the thousandths place is 97093.113.
For the second question, to determine the sign of the product without multiplying, you need to consider the number of negative signs among the factors.
In this case, there are an odd number of negative signs present: (-2) and (-0.8). When you multiply two negative numbers, the result is positive, and when you multiply a positive and a negative number, the result is negative.
Since there are an odd number of negative signs, the product will be negative.
Therefore, the sign of the product is negative for (19)(-2)(37)(-0.8)(112).
