To find:
The correct rounded off measurement for volume of crate as calculated by M.
Answer to Problem 33PFA
Measurement 1692.43 is most appropriately rounded as rounding off is done based on shortest number in multiplication or division. So, option (C) is correct answer.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
M measures the dimensions of three crates as 10.45, 13.275 and 12.2 inches and multiply them all together to get the volume r as 1692.42975.
Formula/Concept used:
Subunit of inch is centimeter. That means any value in inches can be more accurately shown if it is in centimeter also. It is because rounding off is done based on shortest number in multiplication or division.
Conclusion:
Based on above concept as 9 is there in thousandth place in 1692.42975, if it is rounded to two decimal places as rounding off is done based on shortest number in multiplication or division, it rounds to 1692.43 that is most accurately rounded value in inches.
