Ingrid dug a trench eighteen twentieths of a meter long. The next day she dug nine twentieths of a meter more of the trench. What is a reasonable estimate of the total length of the trench?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.00 meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first day, she dug eighteen twentieth of a meter = [tex]\frac{18}{20}[/tex] x 1 meter

                                                                        = [tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex] meters

The second day, she dug nine twentieth of a mater = [tex]\frac{9}{20}[/tex] x 1 meter

                                                                        = [tex]\frac{9}{20}[/tex] meters

Total length of the trench = [tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{9}{20}[/tex]

                                          = [tex]\frac{18 + 9}{20}[/tex]

                                          = [tex]\frac{27}{20}[/tex]

                                          = 1[tex]\frac{7}{20}[/tex]

                                          = 1.35 meters

Total length of the trench is 1.35 meters.

A reasonable estimate of the total length of the trench is 1.00 meter.

Answer:

It is 1 and 1 half. or C

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 18/20 + 9/20. 18 + 9 = 27, and there is (number)/20. since it is 20 it will get 1 whole. now there is just 7, and 7 you round up to 1 half because 5 and over round up, while 4 and under round down.
