Question

What is 0.0936 rounded to the nearest one thousandths ?

Answer 1

To round the number:

`0.0936`

To the nearest thousandths, we can proceed as follows:

We have that the thousandths (0.001) are represented by the number 3. Since we have that after 3 we have a 6 (ten-thousandths place), we can round our number 3 to an upper value, that is, 4, since 6 is greater than 5.

In other words, if we have a number equal to or greater than 5 on the right side of the number, we can increase the value of this number by one (+1).

Then, if we round 0.0936 to the nearest thousandths, then we have:

`0.0936\approx0.094`

We need to remember that:

In summary, therefore, the number 0.0936 rounded to the nearest one-thousandths is 0.094.
