Answer:

5.96200

Step-by-step explanation:

1 after decimal is called tenths place

2 after decimal is called hundredths place

3 after decimal is called thousandths place

The number after the thousandths place it lower than five so you also round down. That is why it's 5.96200 rather than 5.96300

Hope this helps!
