Question

Round 52.476 to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

52.5

Explanation:

Tenths are the first decimal place to the right of the decimal.

Rounding to the nearest tenth means you have to look at the hundredth place, which is seven.

The rule is if your place value is five or more, you race the value up.

So rounding four up will be five

Lastly, get rid of any other place values on the right of your place

Therefore, your new number is 52.5

Answer 2

Answer: 52.5

Explanation: The 4 is in the tenths spot. The next digit over is 7, which fits the "5 or more" category. We'll bump the 52.4 up to 52.5 and ignore every other digit.
