C) 0.00792
D) 0.00793

Answer 1

The number 0.00792398 rounded to the nearest thousandth is 0.008, since the digit to the right of the thousandth place (which is 2) does not require the preceding digit (which is 9) to be rounded up.

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate 0.00792398 to the nearest thousandth, we must look at the fourth decimal place, which is 3 in this case. The digit in the thousandth place is 9, and since the digit to the right of it is a 2, we do not round up the 9. Therefore, the number remains the same up to the thousandth place. So, the estimated value of 0.00792398 to the nearest thousandth is 0.008.
