Answer:

1387.95

Explanation:

• Identify the digit at the thousandth place of the given decimal number.

• In example 1387.9462, the thousandths digit is 6

• When the digit at the thousandth place is 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 or 9, then add 1 to the digit at the hundredth place and remove all digits right to it.

• If the thousandths digit is 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4, then the hundredth-place digit is kept the same and remove all digits right to it.

• Here, the thousandths digit is 6, so round up.
