Answer 2

253.520

Explanation:

Let us see what is the thousandths place...

It is the third digit to the right.

253.5198 rounded is about

253.520.

I can tell because you take the thousandths place, look at the one to the right of it, then if it is greater than 5, you make the thousandths place greater. Since it's a 9, you move the extra 10 thousandths to the next thing- the hundredths. and you get 253.520.
