Obviously, not. The word approximately itselfshows that the number of people were near about thesenumbers. Clearly, 51,000 could be 50.800 or 51,300but not 70,000. Similarly, 40 million implies muchmore than 39 million but quite less than 41 millionbut certainly not 50 million.can you send me the meaning of this |

Answer» Answer: The above passage is about the APPROXIMATE VALUES (nearest values ) In this passage maybe they were talking about the POPULATION..... we can SAY approx. 51000 if the accurate value is 51300 or 50.800 it means we can use the approximate value for lower values(it means the difference will be less) only but not for higher values like in millions if we use approx.of 39million people we can say it as below than 40 or 41.... but we can't use as 50 million because there's a huge difference........ #Hope you understand what I WANT to say..... |
