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 $141.1$

Calculate the value of the following expression by appropriate rounding off of the numbers:
$\displaystyle 0.43\times 0.87=$

  1. $0.31$

  2. $0.35$

  3. $0.36$

  4. $0.38$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Since in the case of $0.43$, the last digit is less than $5$, it would be rounded off to $0.4$
Likewise, since the last digit of $0.87$ is greater than $5$, it would be rounded off to $0.9$
$0.43 \times 0.87$ thus becomes $0.4 \times 0.9 = 0.36$

On rounding off the decimal part of $32.4$ to the nearest one, we get

  1. $30$

  2. $32$

  3. $33$

  4. $35$

While rounding off, if the digit to be dropped is less than $5$, then the preceding digit:

  1. increases by $1$

  2. remains unchanged

  3. decreases by $1$

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
When rounding, you examine the digit following (i.e., to the right of) the digit that is to be the last digit in the rounded off number. The digit you are examining is the first digit to be dropped.

  1. If that first digit to be dropped is less than $5$ (that is, $1, 2, 3 $ or $4$), drop it, and also drop all the digits to the right of it.
  2. If that first digit to be dropped is more than $5$ (that is, $6, 7, 8$ or $9$), increase by 1 the number to be rounded, that is, the preceeding digit (to the digit being dropped).
Thus, in our case, since the digit to be dropped is less than $5$, we make no change to the preceding digit. 

Sohan wishes to order salt for himself, but the salt is only sold in $30$-pound bags. He currently has $75$ pounds of salt, and he needs to have a minimum of $200$ pounds. Determine the inequality which shows the possible values for the number of bags, b, that Macro needs to order in order to meet his minimum requirement.

  1. $\displaystyle b\ge 4$

  2. $\displaystyle b\ge 5$

  3. $\displaystyle b\ge 6$

  4. $\displaystyle b\ge 7$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sohan needs to have $200$ pounds but he currently has $75$ pounds

And bags sold only $30$ pounds bag.
Then sohan take bags in $75$ pounds $=$ $\dfrac{75}{30}=2.5$ says 2
But he needed bages in $200$ pounds $=$ $\dfrac{200}{30}=6.67$ says 7
Then the inequality of number of bags (b) $=6.67-2.5=4.16$ says $5$
Hence, option B is correct.
