Question

One year,the price of wheat was $8.87 per bushel.The next year,the price was $9.60. Round the price per bushel of wheat for each year to the nearest tenth of a dollar

Answer 1

So the given numbers are:
=> One year, the price of wheat is 8.87 dollars
=> the next year, the price of wheat is 9.60 dollars.
We were asked to round each prices of bushels of wheat to its nearest tenths.
=> 8.87, where 8 before the decimal point is ones, 8 next to decimal point is tenths and 7 is the hundredths.
=>round off to the nearest tenths
=> 8.9
=> next is 9.60, where 9 is the ones value, 6 is the tenths value and 0 is the hundredths.
=> round off to nearest tenths
=> 9.6
