Answer 1

Answer: 69.1, 44.0,39.6

explanation: you look at the value next to the tenths place which is the hundredths and if the number is above a five you add one to the tenth place but if the number is under 5 you keep the tenths place the same

Answer 2

Answer:

69.08 ⇒ nearest tenth

To round 69.08 to the nearest tenth, 0 is in the tenths place and 8 is in the hundredths place.  Since the digit in the hundredths place (8) is greater than  5, add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (0).

1 + 0 = 1, so the digit in the tenths place becomes 1  & the digit in the hundredths place is dropped.

∴ 69.08 ≈ 69.1 (corrected to the nearest tenth)

43.96 ⇒ nearest tenth

To round 43.96 to the nearest tenth, 9 is in the tenths place and 6 is in the hundredths place.  Since the digit in the hundredths place (6) is more than 5, add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (9), add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (9). This will also add 1 to the whole number part and make the fractional part 0.

1 + 9 = 10

∴ 43.96 ≈ 44 (corrected to the nearest tenth)

39.564 ⇒ nearest tenth

To round 39.564 to the nearest tenth, 5 is in the tenths place and 6 is in the hundredths place.  Since the digit in the hundredths place (6) is more than 5, add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (5), add 1 to the digit in the tenths place (5).

1 + 5 = 6, so the digit in the tenths place becomes 6 & the digit in the hundredths and thousandths place is dropped.

∴ 39.564 ≈ 39.6 (corrected to the nearest tenth)
