Question

prerequisite skill rounding numbers (skill 2)
round to the place value shown.
nearest tenth:

1. 0.73
2. $12.46

nearest hundredth:

1. 4.653
2. $45.955

nearest thousandth:

1. 0.5674
2. 35.1349

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rounding - rule

If the digit to the right of the place - value we are rounding to is 5 or greater, we round up; if it is less than 5, we round down.

Step2: Round 0.73 to the nearest tenth

The digit in the hundredths place is 3 which is less than 5. So, $0.73\approx0.7$.

Step3: Round 12.46 to the nearest tenth

The digit in the hundredths place is 6 which is greater than 5. So, $12.46\approx12.5$.

Step4: Round 4.653 to the nearest hundredth

The digit in the thousandths place is 3 which is less than 5. So, $4.653\approx4.65$.

Step5: Round 45.955 to the nearest hundredth

The digit in the thousandths place is 5. So, $45.955\approx45.96$.

Step6: Round 0.5674 to the nearest thousandth

The digit in the ten - thousandths place is 4 which is less than 5. So, $0.5674\approx0.567$.

Step7: Round 35.1349 to the nearest thousandth

The digit in the ten - thousandths place is 9 which is greater than 5. So, $35.1349\approx35.135$.

Answer:

Nearest tenth: 0.7, 12.5
Nearest hundredth: 4.65, 45.96
Nearest thousandth: 0.567, 35.135
