Question

1. round the following to the specified place value.

a. 0.9899 to hundredths
b. 123.124 to tenths
c. 56.04989 to thousandths

Explanation:

Step1: Identify hundredths place

For 0.9899, hundredths digit is 8, next digit is 9. Since 9 ≥ 5, round up 8 to 9.
Expression: $0.9899 \approx 0.99$

Step2: Identify tenths place

For 123.124, tenths digit is 1, next digit is 2. Since 2 < 5, keep 1 as is.
Expression: $123.124 \approx 123.1$

Step3: Identify thousandths place

For 56.04989, thousandths digit is 9, next digit is 8. Since 8 ≥ 5, round up 9 to 10, carry over to hundredths place (4 becomes 5, thousandths becomes 0).
Expression: $56.04989 \approx 56.050$

Answer:

a. 0.99
b. 123.1
c. 56.050
