Answer:

3.59

Explanation:

3 is a whole number, 5 is in the tenths place, 8 is in the hundreths place, and 7 is in the thousandths place. Eventhough 8 is in the tenths place, we have to apply a certain rule to get the exact answer. if the number in the next place (the thousandths place so 7) is greater than 5, add 1 to the tenths place number, but if the number is less than 5, leave it as it is. The 8 will round to 9 because 7 is greater than 5.
