During an Alpine Skiing event, the times of four skiers were listed below. Time is measured in seconds.


Skier Skier A Skier B Skier C Skier D
Time 114.36 114.40 114.48 114.44


If the stopwatch used was only accurate to the tenth of a second, which skier's time would be different from the others?
Skier A

Skier B

Skier C

Skier D

Answer 1

Round them all to the nearest tenth and find out.

Answer 2

idk how to do that @Mertsj

Answer 3

If the last number is 5 or greater, you will round up, if it's less than 5, you will round down
Example:
115.52 = 115.5
115.55 = 115.6
