Answer 2

For this case, the first thing we must take into account is the following rounding rules:

• 1) If the decimal prior to the number to be rounded is greater than or equal to five, then the next number increases by one unit.
• 2) If the decimal prior to the number to be rounded is less than five, then the next number remains the same.

We then have the following decimal:

34.287

Rounding to the nearest tenth of a minute we have:

34.3

Answer:

her race time to the nearest tenth of a minute is:

34.3
