A tomato plant at Martha’s garden is 0.853 meters and a corn stalk 0.891 meters how do you round both measures to the nearest tenth?

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the tenths place in the number. It is the 1st digit to the right of the decimal point.

Look at the digit to the right of that. If it is 5 or more, add 1 in the tenths place. Drop all digits to the right of the tenths place.

0.853 has 5 in the hundredths place, so you add 1 to the tenths place

  0.853 rounded to tenths is 0.9

0.891 has 9 in the hundredths place, so you add 1 to the tenths place

  0.891 rounded to tenths is 0.9

both round to 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 0.853 rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.9

2. 0.891 rounded to the nearest tenth is 0.9

3. to round a number to the nearest tenth (a tenth is 0.1) you need to look at the number after it (a hundredth is 0.01). If it's equal to or bigger than 5 then you round up otherwise round down.

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
