what's with all the formatting interpolation? Just type your numbers.
4 \text{ m}4 m4, start text, space, m, end text
Is that supposed to be "4mm4 m ?"
If so, what is it supposed to even mean?
In any case, look to the digit after the one you want to round to.
5 or greater rounds up, otherwise round down.
B & C
To determine which distances round to 4 meters when rounded to the nearest meter, you need to apply the rounding rule. The rule states that if the digit to the right of the decimal point is 5 or greater, you round up to the next whole number. If the digit is 4 or less, you round down to the current whole number.
Let's evaluate each choice:
Choice A: 3.49 m
The digit to the right of the decimal point is 9, which is greater than 5. Therefore, when rounded to the nearest meter, 3.49 m will round up to 4 m.
Choice B: 3.802 m
The digit to the right of the decimal point is 8, which is 5 or greater. When rounded to the nearest meter, 3.802 m will also round up to 4 m.
Choice C: 4.18 m
In this case, the digit to the right of the decimal point is 1, which is 4 or less. When rounded to the nearest meter, 4.18 m will round down to 4 m.
Based on the rounding rule, both Choice A (3.49 m) and Choice B (3.802 m) will round to 4 m. Therefore, the correct answers are A and B.
