Question A

take $100.80 divide it by 35 which would equal 2.88

so round that up for 3.0 for the closest answer

Question B

take 49.2 and divide it by 6 which would equal 8.2

so round it to the nearest number which would be 8.0

Question C

take 0.78 and divide it by 20L which would equal 0.039

so round that up to the closest number which would be 0.04L
