Question

Round 0.956 to one decimal place

Answer 1

When we round a number, if the digit immediately to the right of the one we want to keep is 5 or greater, we round up the digit we want to keep. In this case, the digit to the right of 5 is 6, which is greater than 5. Therefore, we round up the 5 to 6, giving us 0.96.

However, if we were instead asked to round to the nearest whole number, then we would round 0.956 up to 1.0. This is because we would look at the digit immediately to the right of the decimal point, which is 5, and since 5 is greater than or equal to 5, we would round up to the nearest whole number, which is 1.0.

Answer 2

Answer: 0.96

Explanation:

To round 0.956 to one decimal place, we need to look at the second decimal place (the hundredths place), which is 5. Since 5 is greater than or equal to 5, we need to round up the first decimal place (the tenths place), which is 9. Therefore, the rounded number to one decimal place is:

0.956 rounded to one decimal place = 0.96
