Charity and her family are going on vacation to visit family over the summer. Their flight will last 6.94 hours. Charity says, "If we round this number, it is a seven-hour flight." Her sister says, "I think you're wrong. If we round it, it is 6.9-hour flight." Who is correct? Explain your reasoning.

Sagot :

Answer:

Charity is more correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Flight time = 6.94 hours

Charity estimation = 7 hours

Her sister's estimation = 6.9 hours

Charity is more correct if we are to round to the nearest whole hour

6.94 hours is approximately 7 hours

Her sister is only correct if we are to round up to 1 decimal place

6.94 hours is approximately 6.9 hours to 1 decimal place
