Answer:

98.9940 to 99

42.426 to 42

Explanation:

To start off, 5 or more, go next door (round up), so 4 or less stays the same.

To round to the nearest foot, we know that we'll have to round the ones place. So we look at the tenths place for reference:

98.9940

We have to round the 8 using the 0.8. Because 8, as a digit, is larger than 5, we have to go next door—round up:

99.0000 = 99

Same thing for 42.426:

To round to the nearest foot, we know that we'll have to round the ones place. So we look at the tenths place for reference:

42.426

We have to round the 2 using the 0.4. Because 4, as a digit, is less than 5, we stay the same:

42.000 = 42
