1. **Problem 1:** Round 51.26% to one decimal place.
- The number is 51.26.
- To round to one decimal place, look at the second decimal digit (6).
- Since 6 is greater than or equal to 5, round the first decimal digit (2) up by 1.
- So, 51.26 rounds to 51.3.
2. **Problem 2:** Round 5.428 to (a) one decimal place and (b) two decimal places.
- (a) One decimal place: Look at the second decimal digit (2).
- Since 2 < 5, keep the first decimal digit (4) as is.
- So, 5.428 rounds to 5.4.
- (b) Two decimal places: Look at the third decimal digit (8).
- Since 8 ≥ 5, round the second decimal digit (2) up by 1.
- So, 5.428 rounds to 5.43.
3. **Problem 3:** Daniel rounds 1.725 to one decimal place and gets 172.5.
- Daniel's mistake is misunderstanding place value.
- 1.725 rounded to one decimal place means keeping one digit after the decimal point.
- Correct rounding: Look at the second decimal digit (2), since 2 < 5, keep first decimal digit (7).
- So, 1.725 rounds to 1.7, not 172.5.
4. **Problem 4:** Nicole rounded a number to one decimal place and got 9.2.
- Numbers that round to 9.2 to one decimal place are those from 9.15 up to but not including 9.25.
- Examples: 9.15, 9.16, 9.17, 9.18, 9.19, 9.20, 9.21, 9.22, 9.23, 9.24.
5. **Problem 5:** Round 0.4715 g of salt to two decimal places.
- Look at the third decimal digit (1).
- Since 1 < 5, keep the second decimal digit (7).
- So, 0.4715 rounds to 0.47.
6. **Problem 6:** Dominic claims difference between A and B cannot equal difference between C and D, where C and D are A and B rounded to one decimal place.
- Let A = 1.24, B = 1.26.
- Then C = 1.2 (A rounded), D = 1.3 (B rounded).
- Difference A - B = 1.24 - 1.26 = -0.02.
- Difference C - D = 1.2 - 1.3 = -0.1.
- Here differences are not equal.
- But if A = 1.25, B = 1.35,
- C = 1.3, D = 1.4,
- Difference A - B = -0.1,
- Difference C - D = -0.1.
- So Dominic is incorrect; the differences can be the same.
**Final answers:**
1. 51.3
2. (a) 5.4 (b) 5.43
3. Daniel's mistake: misplacing decimal point, correct answer is 1.7
4. Possible numbers: 9.15, 9.16, 9.17, 9.18, 9.19, 9.20, 9.21, 9.22, 9.23, 9.24
5. 0.47
6. Dominic is incorrect; differences can be equal.
