To round the figure 47,125 to the closest tenth, hundredth, and thousandth, it's essential to recognize the positions of these places. The tens position is the second digit from the right. The hundreds position is the third, and the thousands position is the digit immediately following the comma. For rounding to the tens place, you must inspect the digit directly behind it (the ones place) and evaluate. If this digit is between 0-4, you won’t round the tens place, but if it falls between 5-9, rounding is permissible. The same regulation applies when rounding up for the hundreds and thousands places. Consequently, the number arrived at is - 47,135.

The area of the postcard is 24 square inches. What is the width b of the message (in inches)?

Leona [12618]

Area of a rectangle = length x width
For this postcard:
length = 4 in
width = (3+b) in
area = 24 in^2

Substitute into the area formula:
24 = 4 x (3+b)
24 = 12 + 4b
24 - 12 = 4b
12 = 4b
b = 3 in

Therefore:
the length of the postcard = 4 inch
the width of the postcard = b+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 inch

If the roads leading to an arena can together handle 3,500 vehicles/hour of arena-only traffic, at what time should the roads be

Svet_ta [12734]

The given road capacity is 3,500 vehicles per hour, and the expected number of vehicles arriving is 14,000. To calculate the time required for these vehicles to access the arena:
14,000 vehicles divided by 3,500 vehicles per hour equals 4 hours.

If the event is scheduled to commence at 7 p.m., the roads should close at: 7 p.m. minus 4 hours, which results in 3 p.m.

10 times as many as blank hundreds or 60 hundreds is blank thousands

Svet_ta [12734]

The result of multiplying 10 by 6 hundreds equals 60 hundreds, which can also be expressed as 6 thousands.

Explanation

This can be simplified as follows:

10 times a given quantity of _____ hundreds results in 60 hundreds
60 hundreds convert to _____ thousands

We will divide this into two segments:

$\boxed{ \ 10 \times (N \times 100) = 60 \times 100 \ }$ ... Equation-1

$\boxed{ \ 60 \times 100) = M \times 1,000 \ }$ ... Equation-2

This straightforward multiplication relates to the place value system. We need to perform calculations to find the values of N and M.

Initially, let's focus on Equation-1.

We will move the variable M to one side of the equation in order to isolate it and solve for its value.

$\boxed{ \ 10 \times (N \times 100) = 60 \times 100 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 1,000 \times N = 6,000 \ }$

Both parts will be divided by 1,000, essentially being multiplied by $\frac{1}{1,000}$ .

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{1,000} \times 1,000 \times N = \frac{1}{1,000} \times 6,000 \ }$

Thus, we conclude with $\boxed{\boxed{ \ N = 6 \ }}$

Next, we process Equation-2 to derive M's value.

$\boxed{ \ 60 \times 100) = M \times 1,000 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 6,000 = M \times 1,000 \ }$

Rearranging this equation to place M on the left side appears as follows:

$\boxed{ \ M \times 1,000 = 6,000 \ }$

Again, both sides undergo division by 1,000, which translates to multiplication by $\frac{1}{1,000}.$ .

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{1,000} \times M \times 1,000 = \frac{1}{1,000} \times 6,000 \ }$

This results in $\boxed{\boxed{ \ M = 6 \ }}$

- - - - - - -

Alternative approach for the second step:

60 hundreds equals to __ thousands

$\boxed{ \ 6 \times 10 \ hundreds = \ M \ thousands} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 6 \times thousands = \ M \ thousands} \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ M = 6 \ }}$
