Answer:

3rd choice 0.57

Explanation:

when rounding to the tenth place we look at the hundreds place and when it greater than or at 5 we round up and when it's less than 5 we round down.

1) explanation:0.7 when rounding to the tenth place. since the 8 was greater than 5 we round-up and get 0.70.

2)explanation: 0.5 when rounded to the tenth place the hundreds place which is 2 is less the 5 so we round down and get 0.50.

3)explanation: 0.6 when rounded its hundreds place is greater than 5 so we round up and get 0.60.

4)explanation: 0.7 when rounding to the tenth place. since the 9 was greater than 5 we round-up and get 0.70.
