Question

What is -1.2222229 rounded to the nearest tenth?

Answer 1

Do you know how to round at all?

Answer 2

not really

Answer 3

Rounding a number means you reduce the digits in a number.
Example: 74 -> 70
The reason I didn't round to 80 is because the number after the 7 (4) is less than five. So even if it was a 3,2,or 1 it still would have been rounded to 70.
BUT if the number was, say, 75, it would round up to 80, because the number after 7 is greater than 4. So even if it was a 6,7,8 or 9, it would have still rounded up to 80. Get it?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

So if you're rounding to the nearest tenth, you are rounding one number after the decimal point. -1.2222223 The number after the decimal point is 2, so the final answer will only have two digits.

Answer 12

Let me show you another example.
4.356 rounded to the nearest tenth -> 4.4
The reason in wasn't 4.3 is because the number after the 3 (5) was greater than 4. Think you can do it now?
