Question

What is 4.7 rounded to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

5.0................ ..

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is still 4.7

Explanation:

The first digit before a decimal (to the left) is called unit or one. However, the first digit after a decimal (to the right) is called tenth, and the one after that is called hundredth.

when rounding up, any digit greater than 4 will be rounded up to 1 and then added to the preceding number. But when the digit is less than 5, the number is rounded off to 0.

Hence, 4.7 is the same as 4.70 with the "7" being the tenth value and the "0" being the hundredth value. Hence, when 4.7 is rounded to the nearest tenth, it remains as 4.7 because its hundredth value is rounded off to "0" since it is less than "5".
