  • 7.48 \u2192 7<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 7.291 \u2192 7<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 7.604 \u2192 8<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 7.81 \u2192 8<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    6. Decimal that rounds to 2.72 to the nearest hundredth:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 2.715<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Rounding decimals depends on which place value you are rounding to and which digit follows it. For both problems, we apply standard rounding rules using place value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For problem 5<\/strong>, we are rounding to the nearest whole number<\/em>. That means we focus on the tenths digit<\/strong> (the first digit after the decimal point). The rules are simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • If the tenths digit is 5 or more<\/strong>, round up<\/strong> to the next whole number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • If the tenths digit is less than 5<\/strong>, round down<\/strong> and keep the whole number the same.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        So:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • 7.48 has a tenths digit of 4. Since 4 is less than 5, it rounds down to 7<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • 7.291 has a tenths digit of 2. Two is also less than 5, so it rounds down to 7<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • 7.604 has a tenths digit of 6. Six is more than 5, so we round up to 8<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • 7.81 has a tenths digit of 8. Since 8 is more than 5, we round up again to 8<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          For problem 6<\/strong>, we are rounding to the nearest hundredth<\/strong>. That involves checking the thousandths digit<\/strong>, which is the third digit after the decimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • If the thousandths digit is 5 or greater<\/strong>, round the hundredths digit up<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • If it is less than 5<\/strong>, leave the hundredths digit as is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            So if we test 2.715<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Hundredths digit is 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Thousandths digit is 5 Because 5 rounds the hundredths digit up, 2.715 becomes 2.72<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              This approach ensures accuracy in all types of rounding tasks, especially in scientific, mathematical, or financial settings where precision matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
