Answer:

Example 1 Compare Decimals

Example 2 Order Decimals

BASEBALL The table below lists the final winning percents for several American League baseball teams in 2001. Use > or < to compare New York’s percent with Cleveland’s percent.

Source: www.espn.com

2001 Final Standings

Team Percent Standings

New York 0.594

Boston 0.509

Cleveland 0.562

Detroit 0.407

Method 1 Use place value.

Since 9 > 6, 0.594 > 0.562.

First, line up the decimal points.

Then, starting at the left, find the first place the digits differ. Compare the digits.

New York:Cleveland:

Method 2 Use a number line.

Numbers to the right are greater than numbers to the left. Since 0.594 is to the right of 0.562, 0.594 > 0.562.

Answer: 0.594 > 0.562; New York had the higher winning percentage.

EXAMS In Mr. Smith’s math class, 29.65% of the students earned a grade of “A” at the end of the semester. In Mrs. Dempsey’s class, 29.85% of the students earned a grade of “A” at the end of the semester. Use > or < to compare the percent in Mr. Smith’s class with the percent in Mrs. Dempsey’s class.

Answer: 29.65% < 29.85%

Order 25, 25.1, 24.36, and 25.03 from least to greatest.

Answer: The order from least to greatest is 24.36, 25, 25.03, and 25.1.

25

25.1

24.36

25.03

First, line up

the decimal points.

Next, annex zerosso that each has thesame number ofdecimal places.

Finally, use placevalue to comparethe decimals.

24.36

25.03

Order 71, 71.04, 70.89, and 71.4 from least to greatest.

Answer: 70.89, 71, 71.04, 71.4

Example 1 Round Decimals

Example 2 Round Decimals

Example 3 Use Rounding to Solve a Problem

Round 7.601 to the nearest whole number.

Answer: To the nearest whole number, 7.601 rounds to 8.0.

On the number line, 7.6 is closer to 8.0 than 7.0.

7.601Then look at the digit to the right. Since 6 is greater than 5, add one to the underlined digit.

Underline the digit to be rounded. In this case, theones place.

Round 4.321 to the nearest whole number.

Answer: 4

Round 68.94 to the nearest tenth.

Answer: To the nearest tenth, 68.94 rounds to 68.9

On the number line, 68.94 is closer to 68.9 than 69.0.

68.94Then look at the digit to the right. Since the digit is 4, the digit 9 stays the same.

Underline the digit to be rounded. In this case, thedigit is in the tenths place.

Round 125.38 to the nearest tenth.

Answer: 125.4

EARNINGS In the year 2000, the average hourly wage for a U.S. production worker was $13.75. How much is this to the nearest dollar? The average weekly earnings were $474.38. What is this to the nearest dollar?

Answer: To the nearest dollar, the average hourly wage was $14.00.

To round to the nearest dollar, round to the nearest ones.

$13.75

Underline the digit in the ones place.

Then look at the digit to the right. The digit is greater than 5. So, add one to the underlined digit.

Answer: To the nearest dollar, the average weekly earnings were $474.00.

Round $474.38 to the nearest ones.

$474.38 $474.00 Since 3 is less than 5, the digit in the ones place remains the same.

CEREAL The price per ounce for a box of cereal is shown as $0.1275 on the tag in the grocery store. How much is this to the nearest cent?

Answer: $0.13

MULTIPLE-CHOICE TEST ITEM A cage of guinea pigs at the pet store is given a vitamin-water solution each day. Last week the guinea pigs consumed 21.8 ounces, 19.1 ounces, 20.3 ounces, 18.9 ounces, and 22.0 ounces of the solution each day. Use this information to estimate the total amount of vitamin solution consumed in one day.

A 70 oz B 90 oz C 100 oz D 120 oz

Read the Test Item The addends are all clustered around 20.

Answer: C

17.8 → 20

19.1 → 20

20.3 → 20

18.9 → 20

+ 22.0 → + 20
