Thank you Ms. Sue. That was a very helpful tip.
You're welcome, Mbaintu.
how do you round the number 128 to the nearest tenths place
do you mean tens. there is no decimal point for it to be tenths.
Ms. Sue, is the correct answer the 189th spectator?
on a map an inch represents 200 miles how far is 3 1/4 inches?
do 200*3.25 and that should probably give you the correct answer, which is 650.
how many miles are in 12 inches ms.soe
