rounds to
rounds to
rounds to
rounds to
Substitute the rounded numbers into the expression:
Calculate the numerator:
Calculate the denominator:
Divide the numerator by the denominator:
However, the exact calculation of the original expression is approximately
. The discrepancy arises because we rounded the numbers for estimation.
