Question

What is 75.69 ft rounded to nearest tenth foot?

Answer 1

75.7

Explanation:

Rounding to the nearest tenth means leaving 1 decimal point remaining. To judge if to round up or down, use the following steps:

If hundredth place is:

0.01-0.04, keep the tenths place the same and remove the hundredths place

0.05-0.09, add one to the tenths place and remove the hundredths place

For example, lets have an example problem:

Round 10.12 to nearest tenth, since 2 is less than 5, remove the 2 and keep the tenths place (1) the same.

If the number was 10.15 or 10.16, you would round it to 10.2 and remove the hundredths place.

Answer 2

Step 1

Round to the nearest tenth means to write the given decimal number up to one decimal place. This is done in such a way that after rounding off, there is one digit after the decimal point.

Example 17.354 to the nearest tenth will mean rounding 5 as 1 and adding 1 to 3. Hence 17.4 to the nearest tenth.

For this question, the answer will be rounding 9 as 1 and adding it to 6.

Thus,

`75.7ft`
