Round to the nearest hundredths

Question

Randall recorded 8 songs on his most recent CD. The total length of the CD is 49 minutes. Find a unit of rate to represent the average length per song on the CD. 

 

 

Is this the correct answer?

 

 

49/8= 6.125

 

 

6.125 rounded to the nearest hundredths = 6.13

Answer 1

What are they looking for? The key is in the words, "Find a unit of rate to represent ..." So, while you found an answer, you did not find exactly what they were looking for ... which was a unit of rate to represent the answer.

 

Using "miles per hour" (miles/hr) as a common unit of rate that is easy to remember ... you are looking for "minutes per song." So, your answer would look something like this: 49/8=6.13 minutes per song or 49/8=6.13 min/song 

 

Hope this helps. :)
