Question

During a training session, the gps of a football player measures that the distance run by the player without the ball is 1080.352 metres. write this number correct to one decimal place.

Answer 1

Answer: 1080.4 meters

Explanation:

When rounding to a decimal place, you want to look at the value of the position following it. In this case, we only wanted one decimal place, so we would look at the value of the second position (which is 5).

Once you have that value, if it is 5 or greater, you add one to the previous position, if it is less than 5, you leave the position alone.

Since the value of the position following the first decimal position is 5, we will add 1 to the first decimal position.

Changing 1080.352, into 1080.4.

Hope this helps, if you need anything cleared up let me know.
