Answer 1

Answer:

5.726

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the thousandths place value. Note the place values:

5 (one's place value)

.

7 (tenth's place value)

2 (hundredth's place value)

5 (thousandth's place value)

5 (ten thousandth's place value)

Find the thousandths place value. Look at the number located directly next to it (ten thousandth's place value).

Note that:

• If the number is 4 or less, round down.
