what is the solution of 5^3 x=900 round your answer to the nearest hundredth

To solve for x, we need to isolate x by dividing both sides by 5^3:

5^3 x = 900

x = 900 / 5^3

x = 900 / 125

x = 7.2

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the solution is x = 7.20.

I apologize for my mistake. Let me try again.

We have 5^3 x = 900. First, we can simplify the left side of the equation by evaluating 5^3 as 125:

125x = 900

Next, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 125:

x = 900 / 125

x = 7.2

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get x ≈ 7.20.

Therefore, none of the answer options given (A, B, C, or D) is correct.

To solve for x, we can take the logarithm of both sides of the equation:

log(5^3x) = log(900)

Using the power rule of logarithms, we can simplify the left side as:

3x log(5) = log(900)

Dividing both sides by 3 log(5), we get:

x = log(900) / (3 log(5))

Using a calculator, we can evaluate this expression to be approximately 1.41.

Therefore, the answer is option B: 1.41, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

To round a decimal to a specified place value, follow these steps:

a. Round 3.892 to the nearest tenth:
- Identify the digit in the tenths place, which is the first digit after the decimal point. In this case, it's 8.
- Determine if the next digit, in this case, 9, is less than 5 or greater than or equal to 5.
- Since 9 is greater than or equal to 5, you round up. Increase the digit in the tenths place by 1, making it 8 + 1 = 9.
- Replace all digits to the right of the tenths place with zeros.
- Therefore, 3.892 rounded to the nearest tenth is 3.900.

b. Round 5.424 to the nearest hundredth:
- Identify the digit in the hundredths place, which is the second digit after the decimal point. In this case, it's 4.
- Determine if the next digit, in this case, 2, is less than 5 or greater than or equal to 5.
- Since 2 is less than 5, you round down. The digit in the hundredths place remains the same.
- Replace all digits to the right of the hundredths place with zeros.
- Therefore, 5.424 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 5.420.

c. Round 124.62 to the nearest whole number:
- Identify the digit in the ones place, which is the digit before the decimal point. In this case, it's 4.
- Determine if the next digit, in this case, 6, is less than 5 or greater than or equal to 5.
- Since 6 is greater than or equal to 5, you round up. Increase the digit in the ones place by 1, making it 4 + 1 = 5.
- Replace all digits after the decimal point with zeros.
- Therefore, 124.62 rounded to the nearest whole number is 120.00.
