Sultan measures the distance he drives to work each day using the odometer on his car, which measures distance in


miles, accurate to the nearest tenth of a mile. If the odometer reads 11.7 miles, what between what two quantities can


you be certain that the exact distance lies?


in two or more complete gfsentences, explain your reasoning,

Answer :

Answer:

We can be sure that the actual distance lies between 11.65 and 11.74

Step-by-step explanation:

Here. we are told that the odometer measures to the nearest tenth.

The nearest tenth means to the nearest first digit after the decimal point

So the range of values we shall be writing will be the range that includes the smallest number that can be approximated to 11.7 and the largest number that can be approximated;

Thus, we have;

11.65 to 11.74

The reasoning is because the smallest number that can be approximated to 11.70 is 11.65 while the largest that can be approximated to 11.70 is 11.74. So the actual distance we need from the odometer is between 11.65 and 11.74
