Question

Round this number to the
nearest tenth.
5.460

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know that the tenth of a decimal number is the first number after the decimal. In this case the tenth in 5.460 is the 4. 0.46 is all we need to round the number. Since 6 is greater than 5, 4 will round up. Hence the answer is 5.5.

Answer 2

Answer:5.5

Explanation:

5.46

You rounded to the nearest tenths place. The 4 in the tenths place rounds up to 5 because the digit to the right in the hundredths place is 6.

5.5

When the digit to the right is 5 or greater we round away from 0.

5.46 was rounded up and away from zero to 5.5
