Can you tell me if I answered these correctly?
SCIENCE: How is the basic structure of living organisms different from that of non-living organisms?
MY ANSWER: Living things need energy, nutrients, water and sunlight. Non Living things have no life at all.
MATH: Explain how an estimate can help you decide where to place the decimal point?
My ANSWER: Actually, I was not sure how to answer this question. Can someone help me?
Thanks.
Your first answer is correct.
For the math problem, you can round to get an approximate number.
For instance if you're multiplying 3.75 by 6.0423 -- multiply 4 * 6 = 24. That tells you that the whole number is around 24.
Thank you Ms. Sue
You're welcome, Tim.

Science question:
Your answer partially addresses the difference between living and non-living organisms. Living organisms, in addition to needing energy, nutrients, water, and sunlight, are also made up of cells, grow and develop, reproduce, and have the ability to respond to their environment. Non-living organisms, on the other hand, lack these characteristics and do not possess life processes.
Math question:
To explain how an estimate can help you decide where to place the decimal point, consider the context of the problem you are trying to solve. For example, in a multiplication problem, estimation can be a useful tool. If you estimate the product of two numbers and want to determine the placement of the decimal point, you can use the powers of 10. Let's say you estimate the product of 3.2 and 4.5 to be around 14.4.
To find the placement of the decimal point, count the total number of decimal places in the original numbers (in this case, one for each number). Then, in the estimated product (14.4), determine the total number of decimal places. In this case, there is one decimal place. Finally, subtract the total number of decimal places in the original numbers from the total number of decimal places in the estimated product.
In this example, since there was one decimal place in both original numbers and one in the estimated product, you won't need to move the decimal point. However, if there was a difference in the decimal places, you would need to adjust the placement accordingly.
Remember, estimation is not always accurate, but it can be helpful in giving you a rough idea or making quick calculations.
