Question

What is 27.9789767993 round to nearest tenth

Answer 1

28

Explanation:

Hi there!

This decimal is a tricky one.

we know we’re rounding to the nearest tenth, so the hundredths place will come in handy.

Since there is a 7 in the hundredths place, we know we’re going to round up, but we have a 9 in the tenths place, so it would become a ‘10’, which is just going into the next whole number, which is 28.

I hope this helped!

Answer 2

28.0

Explanation:

if rounding to the nearest tenth then the number in the hundredth determines what to do - if the number in hundredths is '5 and above, give it a shove'

meaning in this case the 7 bumps the 9 up by one; but a nine will carry over and bump the number in the ones place up by one
