Question

Write the square root of 158 as a decimal to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

The square root of 158 is:

`\sqrt[]{158}=12.569`

We need to round this number to the nearest tenth, which means that we will only have one decimal place.

Since the number after the decimal point is: 569

We need to round up to 600, so the final answer will be:

`12.600=12.6`
