- Slide 7
- Adding the Barometric Reading Adding initial 9 or 10 at the
beginning of the given number depend on which will make the number
closer to 1013. Move the decimal point to the left once
- Slide 8
- Adding the Barometric Reading Adding initial 9 or 10 at the
beginning of the given number depend on which will make the number
closer to 1013. 188 Initial 9 or 10? 918.8 or 1018.8 Which is
nearer to 1013? 1018.8
- Slide 9
- 10. What is the barometric pressure 998.7 is nearer to 1013
than 1098.7 Answer: 998.7 mb In tenths of mb
- Slide 10
- 11. What was the barometric pressure three hours ago? 998.7
minus 1.1, since the barometer has been rising, it was lower in the
past, and the amounts are reported to the nearest tenth of a
millibar Answer: 997.6 mb In tenths of mb

- 12. What was the barometric pressure three hours ago? 998.7
plus 1.1, since the barometer has been decreasing, it was higher in
the past, and the amounts are reported to the nearest tenth of a
millibar. Answer: 999.8 mb In tenths of mb _
