I'm thinking you want to know how to round to the nearest decimal.

but...we need to know what decimal place you need to round to.

Here's a pretty general rule that you could apply to your current problem:

If a number is 5 or more, you round up, if it is 4 or less, you round down.

Here's an example:

Round 16.73267541232 to the nearest hundredth.

16.70           ---3, (the number that originally was after 7) is less than 4, so we round it down to zero.

This could also be written as just

16.7

¡Adiós!

25.99N = 285.89          ---N is the number of roses sold

How could we now find what N equals?

Hint: You have to get N alone (or, in other words, N = something)

To solve this, we can use what's called unit multipliers.

Unit multipliers looks like this:

43 inches/1 * 1 ft/12 inches

The first fraction is just the measurement we know (43 inches) over 1.

The second fraction is our conversion rate, so 1ft/12 inches is saying 1 ft = 12 inches.

This is pretty cool, because inches will now cancel, giving us our answer in ft!

43 inches/1*1 ft/12 inches

43 inches/1*1 ft/12 inches

43/1 * 1 ft/12

Now let's just multiply it out like we usually do with two fractions

43 ft/12

which is the same as

3 and 7/12 ft

or

3.58333 ft

1'm g00d, h0w 4r3 y0u?

Well, 3 is the same as 3/1 isn't it? We can use this to multiply 3 by a fraction.

So say we wanted to multiply 3 times 2/3

3/1*2/3    

Now just multiply the tops together, and the bottoms together

6/3

or

2

Does this help out?

Try using this to work out some other fractions times 3. 

If you have any more troubles, let us know!

Is it frowned upon to thumbs down all of reinout's curse's to CPhill?

Hmm...it probably is so I won't do it.

Haha, Reinout. That sounds just like the app cookie clicker!

By the way Kool_Aid, we (or atleast I) can't see the images for the "1mc005-1.jpg"s in your question.

And like reinout said, there isn't a question to answer.

Oh yeah, CPhill's answer would make more sense.

I see my misinterpretation. :)
