Question

What is 832.248 rounded to the nearest tenth? A. 830 B. 832.2 C. 832.25 D. 832.3

Answer 1

Hi there.

To start, we have to understand where the ten the place is.

Hint: it's 1 place behind the decimal point.

Now we need to know what numbers behind the tenths place make it round up or down.

If the number behind it is 4 or under, round down.

5 & up, round up.

In this case, 830.248 has 2 numbers behind the decimal, so we have to round those THEN the 2 in the tenths place.

830.25 to 830.3

Your answer is D. 830.3

I know this was lengthy, sorry. Just wanted to explain :p
