Using approximations to 1 significant figure, estimate the value of
0.482 x 61.2^2 / square root 98.01
URGENT!
please help i have 5 mins left of my test

The approximation to 1 significant figure of the result is 200

Given that:

To express          with approximation to 1 significant figure.

The calculations will go like this:

Significant figure 1 means only 1 non zero digit should be present and rest places can be having zeros.

Rounding to 1 significant figure:

200

Thus, the result approximated to 1 significant figure is 200.

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

0.482 x 61.2^2 ÷ √98.01

61.2^2 = 3745.44

√98.01 = 9.9

So,

0.482 × 3745.44 ÷ 9.9

= 1,805.30208 ÷ 9.9

= 182.35374545454

To one significant figure

= 200

One significant figure means only 1 non zero value and others are zero

the solution is 12x-6y
