Find the product of 5 and the difference between 328 tenths and 4587 thousandths. Round off your answer to 1 decimal place. 

  1. $146.9$

  2. $141.1$

  3. $139.2$

  4. $140.2$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Here we want to find a product of $5$ and the difference between $328$ tenths and $4587$ thousandths.

So,
First we find tenth of $328 = \dfrac {328}{10}  =  32.8$
And
Thousandths of $4587  = \dfrac {4587}{1000}  =  4.587$

And difference between them  $=  32.8  - 4.587  = 28.213$

Now product of $5$ and the difference between $328$ tenths and $4587$ thousandths  $=  5\times 28.213  = 141.065$

And we know that if the hundredths places are fifty or more, the tenths place is increased by one.

Hence, round off answer to 1 decimal place is $141.1$
