Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

In this question, to round three decimal place, we need to count three numbers after the dot.

Here..

the three numbers are 142

so after that we round it, so first of all we ignore 1 and, and focus on the number 2 and 4.

and if the number is below 5, it is rounded to the last number, but if the number is 5 or more than it, then we round it to the next number.

For example

142 - here we have 2, which is below 5, so we round it to '140'

where as if we have..

147 - here we have 7, which is above 7, so we round it to '150'

____________________________________________________________

So in this problem we round 142, so the number 2 is below 5 so it is round to 140

therefore the answer is - 3.14
