Answer:

3.38461

Explanation:

The given number is 3.38461370132 and we have to round it to the nearest hundred-thousandth.

In order to round this number to nearest hundred-thousandth, we round the fifth number after the decimal point.

So, must see if the sixth digit is less than 5 or not. If it is five or greater than five then we add 1 to the previous digit otherwise it will not change.

The fifth digit is 1

And the sixth digit is 3 < 5

hence, we'll keep the 5th digit as it is.

So, when rounded to the nearest hundred-thousandth the number is 3.38461
