Question

Brain was asked to round 4.44 to the nearest tenth and said it was 4.5 Is he correct?Why or Why not?

Answer 1

The answer is 4.4 hope i helped :)

Answer 2

Brian (I think you meant Brian haha..) is incorrect because the tenth place is the number right after the decimal which is a 4. If you are rounding to the tenth place that means that you have to look at the number to the right of that, which is 4. 5 and up means you round up and 4 and down means you round down. This is a 4, so you keep the 4 after the decimal and get rid of the last 4. Therefore, when rounded it would be: 4.4.
Hope this helped! Good luck! :)
