The following table shows the production of tomatoes (in tons) for three different states, X, Y and Z, over the years 2016 to 2019. Based on the table answer the question given below.Years /States 2016 2017 2018 2019 X 3 4.2 5.3 4.8 Y 5 5.4 4 5.6 Z 4.1 4.3 5 5.6
Solution Breakdown
The question asks to determine the tomato production value for State X in the year 2018, rounded to the nearest ton, based on the provided data table.
Identifying Production Data
Locate the specific data point in the table for State X and the year 2018.
- From the table, the production for State X in 2018 is 4.8 tons.
Calculating Rounded Production
The next step is to round the identified production value to the nearest whole ton.
- The production value is 4.8.
- To round to the nearest ton, check the digit in the first decimal place (tenths place). Here, it is 8.
- Since 8 is 5 or greater, round the whole number part (4) up by one.
- Therefore, 4.8 tons rounded to the nearest ton is 5 tons.
This rounded value corresponds to the production figure required.
