Question

The bulldogs softball team has scored 6.375 runs per game. What is that number of runs per game rounded to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

The number of runs per game rounded to the nearest tenth = 6.4

Explanation:

Given:

The bulldogs softball team has scored 6.375 runs per game.

A decimal figure rounded to nearest tenth means it must be rounded to the tenth place after decimal. If the number at hundredth place is
`\geq 5` then the number at the tenth place gets rounded up to next number and if its is
`<5` then it remains unchanged.

The figure 6.375 need to be rounded to nearest tenth.

We notice that the number at hundredth place is 7 which is
`\geq 5` thus the number at tenth place which is 3 gets rounded up to 4.

∴ 6.375 ≈ 6.4
