Question

8.961 rounded to the following tenths place

Answer 1

Because everything below 5 rounds down and everything about 5 rounds up 8.961 would round to 9.

Answer 2

Answer:

9.0

Step-by-step explanation:

since we are rounding to the tenths, we look at the hundredths digit (2nd to the right of decimal point )

if the hundredths place is between 5 and 9 inclusive, then the tenths place adds one

if the hundredths place is lower than 5 then the tenths digit stays the same.

8.961

since 6 is greater than 5, we round the 9 up, making it ten, or 0 and adding one to the digit to the left, giving us 9.0
