If m = 0.008163 and M is the decimal obtained by rounding m to the nearest to ten thousandth, what is the value of M + m?
(a) 0.0016
(b) 0.016263
(c) 0.016363
(d) 0.162
(e) 1.6
Kudos for the right answer and explanation
Given: m = 0.008163
The digit 1 is in ten thousandth place of 0.008
163
Since next digit (in the hundred thousandth position) is greater than 4, so we need to ROUND UP
So, when we round 0.008
163 to the nearest to ten thousandth, we get: 0.008
2In other words, M = 0.008
2So, M + m = 0.008
2 + 0.008163
= 0.016363
Answer: C
