Container D: 5.32 milliliters
Sandy has a measuring cup that can measure to the nearest tenth of a milliliter. If Sandy measures the oil in each container, the greatest amount of oil would measure ____ milliliters. (4 points)

Answer 1

yes 

5.35 = 5.4 to the nearest 1/10 mls

Answer 2

Answer:

round 5.35 to nearest tenth it becomes 5.4

the greatest amount of oil would measure  5.4  milliliters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Container A: 5.35 milliliters

We have 3 in tenths place and 5 in hundredth place

When we round 5.35 to nearest tenth it becomes 5.4

Container B: 5.25 milliliters

We have 2 in tenths place and 5 in hundredth place

When we round 5.25 to nearest tenth it becomes 5.3

Container C: 5.29 milliliters

We have 2 in tenths place and 9 in hundredth place

When we round 5.29 to nearest tenth it becomes 5.3

Container D: 5.32 milliliters

We have 3 in tenths place and 2 in hundredth place

When we round 5.32 to nearest tenth it becomes 5.3

If Sandy measures the oil in each container, the greatest amount of oil would measure  5.4  milliliters.
