Explain
489.1375 = 489 (after decimal number is less than 5).
0.0483 = 0.05 (after decimal number is 8 this is greater than 5 so add the 1 because 0.04+1=0.05).
So all numbers are same method apply.

Any easier mathod to get result for 163/279 ?

Prathyu said:   1 decade ago
163/279 can also be written as 1.63/2.79 = 1.6/2.8.

Here consider 2.79 as 2.8.

1.6*2 = 3.2 But 2.8<3.2 so1.6/2.8 is >0.5 around 0.57.

Just take the decimal points position into consideration & do the division you will get the answer.

You don't need to actually solve the factors, just round them accordingly and get decimal points in consideration.

In this case:

= (489.1375 x 0.0483 x 1.956)/(0.0873 x 92.581 x 99.749).

= (500 x 0.05 x 2)/(0.10 x 92 x 100).

= (5 x 2)/(2 x 90).

= 5/90.
