Question

What is 601.8 rounded to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

Rounding decimals tells us that it is very similar to rounding the number.

• If hundredths and thousandths places of any decimal number is 49 or less, then they are dropped and  tenths place does not change.

i.e rounding 0.843 to the nearest tenths would give 0.8

• If  hundredths and thousandths  places of any decimal number are 50 or more, then the tenths place is increased by 1.

i.e 0.869 rounded to nearest tenths would give 0.9

Given the number 601.8.

Then,

the number rounded to the nearest tenth is, 601.8.
