Given:
693.9146
To solve, we will follow the steps below:
Step 1
Identitify the place value of each digit in the number.
Since, we are rounding to thousandth, our interest more is after the decimal point.
Step 2
Identify the digit that has a place value of thousandth.
4 is the digit with a place value of thousandth.
Step 3
Identify the decider.
The decider is the digit that comes after the digit of our interest, which is 4. The decider tells where the number will be rounded up or down.
If the decider is of value 1 - 4, the number is rounded down otherwise it is rounded up.
In our case, the decider is 6. This implies we will round up, hence we increase 4 by 1.
Therefore, 693.9146 is rounded to 693.9150 to the nearest thousandth.
