For this case we have the following numerical value:
12.57 centimeters
We note that the number is rounded to the nearest hundredth.
If we want to round the number to the nearest decimal we must rewrite the number.
Rewriting we have:
12.6 centimeters
Answer:
this value rounded to the nearest tenth of a centimeter is:
12.6 centimeters
