Question

Which of the following shows 2.736 correctly rounded to the tenths place?

2.74
2.7
2.8
3

Answer 1

2.7

Explanation:

the tenths place is the first number after the decimal. When rounding numbers 5 and higher can increase the number next to it by 1. So 2.736 becomes 2.74 then becomes 2.7 as the 4 is not able to round the number since it is below 5.

Answer 2

2.7

Explanation:

The 3 does not round up the 7, so it stays as 2.7
