If a worker is paid $4.16 per hour and works 8.5 hours in one week, how much is she paid for that week?
a. $35.36
b. $50.10
c. $54.08
d. $12.66

1.0

Step-by-step explanation:

0.989 broken down to place values:

0 (ones)

.

9 (tenths)

8 (hundredths)

9 (thousandths)

In this case, you rounded 0.989 to 0.99. By the looks of it, you rounded to the hundredths place, which is correct. The thousandths place value was a 9, and as 9 is greater than 5, you round up.

0.989 rounded to the nearest hundredths is 0.99.

If you are rounding to the tenths, note that the tenths place value is a 9. Look at the hundredths value. It is an 8. Because 8 is greater than 5, round up.

0.989 rounded to the nearest tenths is 1.0

Why?

You are rounding to the nearest tenths. As 8 is greater than 5, you round up, adding 1 to the tenths place value.

0.9 + 0.1 = 1.0

Therefore, your answer is 1.0
