Answer:
0.2933
Step-by-step explanation:
0.293263 is the decimal you have to round.
0.<u>2</u>93263 (the first 2 is in the tenths place)
0.2<u>9</u>3263 (the 9 is in the hundredths place)
0.29<u>3</u>263 (the first 3 is in the thousandths place)
0.293<u>2</u>63 (the second 2 is in the ten-thousandths place)
0.2932<u>6</u>3 (the 6 is in the hundred-thousandths place)
0.29326<u>3</u> (the second 3 is in the millionths place)
They tell you to round the decimal to the ten thousandths place.
The second 2 is in the ten-thousandth place (0.293<u>2</u>63).
To round digits you look at the number to its right, if it is 5-9 you round the number up, if it is 0-9 you leave the number as it is.
The number to the right of the number we're rounding (the 2 in the ten-thousands place) is a 6, 6 is a 5-9 number so we round the ten-thousands place digit up 1 number, (from 2 to 3).
And we have our rounded number 0.293<u>3</u>
