3. What is the weight of the birdseed to the nearest tenth of a gram if Mark purchased 253.64 grams of birdseed.?
Explanation: To round 253.64 grams to the nearest tenth, we look at the digit in the hundredth place, which is 4. Since 4 is less than 5, we keep the digit in the tenth place the same. So, the weight rounded to the nearest tenth of a gram is 253.6 grams.
4. A data set has values 4, 7, 7, 9, 13. What is the mean?
Mean = (4 + 7 + 7 + 9 + 13) ÷ 5 = 40 ÷ 5 = 8.
5. A table shows that for every 2 cups of flour, a recipe needs 3/4 cup of sugar. How much sugar is needed for 8 cups of flour?
8 cups of flour is 4 times 2 cups, so sugar = 4 × 3/4 = 3 cups.
