Hii!

___________________________________________________________

Answer: 0.339

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two rounding rules that will help us whenever we need to round a number! These are the rules.

If the number that you need to round is followed by a digit that is less than 5, you round down.
If the number that you need to round is followed by a digit that is either greater than or equal to 5, you round up.

Now that we know the rules, let's get down to solving our problem! ^^

The nearest thousandth is 3 decimal places.

_._ _ _ <==== Nearest thousandth

The third number after the decimal point is 9. After it is a digit that is less than 5. According to the rounding rules, we should round down.

$\boldsymbol{0.3391=== > 0.339}$
