About how much medicine did he make in grams? Estimate amount of each chemical by rounding to the nearest tenth of a gram before finding the sum

Respuesta :

Amount of chemical A mixed in medicine = 9.357 g

Amount of chemical B mixed in medicine = 12.082 g

Amount of chemical C mixed in medicine = 7.502 g

We have to determine the total amount of medicine he prepared in grams.

Total amount of medicine

= 9.357 + 12.082 + 7.502

= 28.941 grams

So, he prepared 28.941 grams of medicine.

Now, we have to round each chemical to the nearest tenth.

Amount of chemical A mixed in medicine = 9.357 g

Rounding to nearest tenth = 9.4 grams

Amount of chemical B mixed in medicine = 12.082 g

Rounding to nearest tenth = 12.1 grams

Amount of chemical C mixed in medicine = 7.502 g

Rounding to nearest tenth = 7.5 grams
