to the nearest POUND is the nearest whole number. for example, 8 pound to the nearest POUND is 7 and 9

#

to the nearest 10p is 10p above the original and 10p below the original

@warm shale

#

£1.60 to the nearest 10 pence would be £1.50 and £1.70

#

so £1.55 and £1.65

#

yeah im confused about why its 8.49 tho

#

and 1.64

#

and not 8.50 and 1.65

#

why is that

icl i think it’s a mistake

#

if it’s the maximum values it’s the two upper bounds of the 2 original values

#

added together

warm shale
#

so was i right in saying that its 8.50 + 1.65

mhm

#

this shit gets harder if you’re asked for the minimum values and you have to divide and multiply them

#

so taking off 1 from the upper bound and dividing it wouldn’t make sense

#

cause u get a horrible number
