Write the following decimal as a fraction 0.08
What is 8/100
The number 8 is in the hundredths place, so we put 8 as the numerator and 100 as the denominator. If the problem asked us to write 0.008 as a fraction the answer would be 8/1,000 because 8 is in the thousandths place so we use 1,000 as the denominator.

Round the decimal to the nearest whole number 34.731.
What is 35
Whole numbers do not have decimals so we are trying to change this decimal to the nearest whole number. Whole numbers begin in the ones place value. You can think of this as "rounding to the ones place". Since we are rounding to the ones place, look at the number to the right of the ones place. This number is 7. Since 7 falls into the "five or above category" we know that we have to round our ones place up. In this case, 4 will be rounded up to 5. That is how we get 35 as the nearest whole number.
What two things MUST a plant have in order to survive?

Estimate the sum 49 + 22.88
What is 72
To estimate the sum, you must round your numbers to the nearest whole number. 49 is already a whole number, but 22.88 is not. Next, you will round 22.88 to the nearest whole number which is 23 because 8 in the tenths place is above 5 so it rounds up the 2 in the ones place to a 3. Now, add 49 + 23 by stacking the numbers on top of each other. The sum is 72. Remember, estimating does not give you an EXACT answer.

What is the missing exponent for the following expression? 374 x 10_ = 37,400
What is 2
2 is the missing exponent for the expression because when 2 is the exponent for 10 that means we are multiplying the base of 10 two times which looks like this 10 x 10. 10 x 10 = 100. The problem really means 374 x 100. We know that we can multiply numbers easily when a 1 is in the front because we can multiply 374 x 1 which equals 374, then tack on the two zeros which makes the product in the expression 37,400.
Name one biotic factor you would find in an ecosystem?
What are animals, plants, humans, etc.
Biotic means living (anything breathing/growing)
