OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember your decimal places? After the decimal point it starts out as tenth, then hundredth, then thousandth.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

|dw:1348109138797:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so with that being said what number is in the tenth place

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first 1 after the decimal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep. Which value is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont for get to check if you need to round up or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right now in order to round up the number next to it has to be 5 or greater so the number next to 1 is 0 would you leave it a 1 or make it a 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

leave it a 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40.100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not if it is asking for the tenth place that is the thousandths place

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about when you have 6.40?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you need to round to the tenth again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You used .100 which is using the thousanths place. That would be incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):
