Question 9

75 multiplied by 2.2 rounded to the nearest tenth is 34.1

When calculating 75 multiplied by 2.2, the result is 165. After rounding to the nearest tenth, the value is 34.1.

A) 34.1

This option is correct as it accurately reflects the result of 75 multiplied by 2.2, which equals 165, and rounding it to the nearest tenth gives 34.1.

B) 34.09

This option is incorrect because it represents a more precise value that does not align with the rounding process to the nearest tenth. The correct rounding of 34.1 does not include the additional decimal place.

C) 35

This option is incorrect as well. While 35 may seem close, it does not reflect the accurate rounding of the product 34.1, which is less than 35.

D) 34

This option is also incorrect. Rounding 34.1 to the nearest whole number would yield 34, but since the question requires rounding to the nearest tenth, this answer fails to address the specific requirement.

Conclusion

The correct answer, 34.1, effectively captures the correct multiplication and rounding process. All other options fail either by misrepresenting the rounding requirement or providing values that do not correspond to the correct calculation. Thus, option A stands as the definitive answer.
