Complete Question
Correct 36.2598 to
a) to one decimal place.
b) To the nearest hundredth.
c) to nearest 0.001
d) to the nearest whole number
Answer:
a) to one decimal place = 36.3
b) To the nearest hundredth= 36.26
c) to nearest 0.001 = 36.260
d) to the nearest whole number = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are to round up 36.2598 to the following:
a) to one decimal place.
Rounding up 36.2598 to one decimal place means we are looking at the first number after the decimal which is 2. The number after it is 5, so we are adding one to 2. Hence,
36.2598 to one decimal place = 36.3
b) To the nearest hundredth:
Rounding up 36.2598 to the nearest hundredth means we are rounding up to 2 decimal places. This means we are looking at the second number after the decimal which is 5. The number after it is 9, which is higher than 5 so we are adding one to 5. Therefore,
36.2598 to the nearest hundredth = 36.26.
c) to nearest 0.001
Rounding up 36.2598 to the nearest 0.001 means we are rounding up to the nearest thousandth which is 3 decimal places.
This means we are looking at the third number after the decimal which is 9. The number after it is 8, which is higher than 5 so we are adding one to 9.
Therefore,
36.2598 to the nearest 0.001 = 36.260
d) to the nearest whole number
Rounding up 36.2598 to the nearest whole number means we are rounding up the number before the decimal place. That number is 6. We look at the first digit after the decimal, it is less than 5, 6 remains unchanged, if it is 5 and above, we add one to 6.
For our question, the number after the decimal is 2, it is less than 5 so 6 remains unchanged.
36.2598 to the nearest whole number = 36.
