Question

Round 24.99 to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

A tenth of 24.99 would be the first 9 after the point. In order to round it to the nearest tenth, we must look at the number after it. If that number is 5 or above, we must make the tenth one higher. In this case, the number after the tenth is above 5, so we change the tenth to a 1! Now the number becomes 25.00
