Final Answer:

1. Rounding 84.59 to the nearest whole number gives us 85.

2. Rounding 2.948 to the nearest hundredth gives us 2.95.

3. Rounding 30.125 to the nearest tenth gives us 30.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To round numbers to a specific digit, it's important to look at the digit directly to the right of the digit to which you are rounding. If this digit is 5 or greater, you round up.

If it is less than 5, you round down. Unfortunately, the underlined digits are not specified in your question; however, I will assume the digits for each number based on typical rounding practices.

1. Round 84.59 to the nearest whole number
The digit to the right of the tens place (8) is 4 (in the ones place). Since 4 is less than 5, we do not round up the tens place.

Therefore, rounding 84.59 to the nearest whole number gives us 85.

2. Round 2.948 to the nearest hundredth
The digit to the right of the hundredths place (4) is 8 (in the thousandths place). Since 8 is 5 or greater, we round up the hundredths place.

Thus, rounding 2.948 to the nearest hundredth gives us 2.95.

3. Round 30.125 to the nearest tenth
The digit to the right of the tenths place (1) is 2 (in the hundredths place). Since 2 is less than 5, we do not round up the tenths place.

Therefore, rounding 30.125 to the nearest tenth gives us 30.1.
