Math Problem Statement

Use the ALEKS calculator to approximate √67. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Solution

The problem in your screenshot asks to approximate 67\sqrt{67} (the square root of 67) and round the result to the nearest hundredth. Let’s solve it.

  1. Compute 67\sqrt{67}:
    Using a calculator,
    678.185\sqrt{67} \approx 8.185.

  2. Round to the nearest hundredth:
    The third decimal place (5) is greater than or equal to 5, so round the second decimal place (8) up.
    678.19\sqrt{67} \approx 8.19.

Final Answer: 8.19
