Step-by-Step Solutions

Problem 3: line up the points - 9.60 − 4.85 = 4.75.

Problem 12: to round 12.345 to the nearest hundredth, look at the third decimal (5), which rounds the hundredths digit up: 12.35.

Problem 15: rounding 9.96 to the nearest tenth, the hundredths digit (6) rounds the tenths up, and 9.9 becomes 10.0.

Problem 18: 2.40 − 0.85 = 1.55 metres.
