The correct answer is 4.8, 40. When expressing numbers to 2 significant figures, we look at the first two digits from the left. In 4.793, the first two digits are 4 and 7, so we round up the last digit to get 4.8. In 39.51, the first two digits are 3 and 9, so we round up the last digit to get 40.Rate this question:

A pear costs x cents. An orange costs y cents less than a pear. Find the total cost of 2 oranges.
- A.
2(x + y)
- B.
2(y)
- C.

21
- B.
22
- C.
23

A pool is filled everyday with double the water from yesterday. If it takes the pool to be completely filled in 48 days, how long does it take to fill just half the pool?
- A.
24
- B.
37
- C.
47
- D.
40
Correct Answer
C. 47Explanation
The pool is filled with double the amount of water each day, so we can infer that the amount of water in the pool each day forms a geometric sequence. Since it takes 48 days to completely fill the pool, we can write the equation 1 + 2 + 4 + ... + 2^(n-1) = 48, where n represents the number of days. Solving this equation, we find that n = 6. Therefore, it takes 6 days to fill half the pool. However, the options provided do not include 6 as a choice. Among the given options, the closest answer is 47, which is just one day short of filling half the pool.Rate this question:
