a) 6.03
b) 79.86
c) 60.26
d) 7.99
question 5 (5 points)

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply the first two numbers

First, calculate \( 8.3 \times 24.2 \).
\( 8.3\times24.2 = 8\times24.2 + 0.3\times24.2 = 193.6 + 7.26 = 200.86 \)

Step2: Multiply the result by 0.03

Now, multiply \( 200.86 \) by \( 0.03 \).
\( 200.86\times0.03 = 6.0258 \)

Step3: Round to the nearest hundredth

Rounding \( 6.0258 \) to the nearest hundredth. The thousandth digit is 5, so we round up the hundredth digit.
\( 6.0258\approx6.03 \)

Answer:

A) 6.03
