Question

a nurse is preparing a medication and calculates the dosage as 1.42 ml. rounding this amount to the nearest tenth, the nurse should administer how many ml?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify digit in hundredths place

The number is 1.42. The digit in the hundredths place is 2.

Step2: Apply rounding rule

Since 2 < 5, we do not round up the digit in the tenths place. So 1.42 rounded to the nearest tenth is 1.4.

1.4
