Michelle wants to run 3 miles to prepare for her next cross-country meet. She mapped out one route that is 3.25 miles long and another route that is 3.16 miles long. She uses rounding and finds that both routes are close to 3 miles long. Which explains how Michelle can choose the route that is closer to 3 miles? heelp

Step-by-step explanation:

don't round.

calculate the difference of the naked route and the planned distance of 3 miles.

3.25 - 3 = 0.25

3.16 - 3 = 0.16

0.16 is smaller than 0.25.

so, also the rounding cut off less.

the 3.16 miles route is therefore closer to 3 miles than the 3.25 miles route.
