Question

Rewrite 12/17 as a decimal number. Round to the nearest thousandth.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.706

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 12/17 to decimal by dividing the numerator by denominator.

12 ÷ 17 = 0.70588.......

The nearest thousandth is the third decimal place.

If we round up: 0.706

If we round down: 0.705

Because the fourth digit is "8", we round up.

If the digit after the one you want to round to is 5 or greater, then you round up. If the digit after is 4 or less, round down..

12 ÷ 17 = 0.70588....... ≈ 0.706
