Question

What number is if we round 2.99 to the tenths and if we round 2.999 to the hundredths

Answer 1

Answer:

2.99 = 3

2.999 = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To round 2.99 to the nearest tenth consider the hundredths’ value of 2.99, which is 9 and equal or more than 5. Therefore, the tenths value of 2.99 increases by 1 to 0.

2.99 rounded to the nearest tenth = 3.0

Now

To round 2.999 to the nearest hundredth consider the thousandths’ value of 2.999, which is 9 and equal or more than 5. Therefore, the hundredths value of 2.999 increases by 1 to 0.

2.999 rounded to the nearest hundredth = 3.00

So, If you would round it to the nearest tenth which is the third nine, you'd see that it would add up to the whole number 3. So the answer is 3!!
