A painter ha three colours of paint in his cupboard.

Question

| Purple | 2.48 litres |
| Red | 2 235/1000 litres |
| Green | 2.355 litres |
How many litres of purple paint does he have to the nearest litre?

Answer 1

To determine how many litres of purple paint the painter has to the nearest litre, we start with the given amount of purple paint:

Purple: 2.48 litres

Now we need to round 2.48 to the nearest litre.

- If the digit in the tenths place is 5 or higher, we round up.
- If the digit in the tenths place is 4 or lower, we round down.

For 2.48:
- The digit in the tenths place is 4.
Hence, we round down.

Therefore, the painter has 2 litres of purple paint to the nearest litre.
