Do you know where the thousandths place is? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (kamibug):

It is the third place to the right of the decimal. For example in the number 2.136, the 6 is in the thousandths place. So which number is there in this problem? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A!

OpenStudy (kamibug):

Correct, it is 8! Now we need to round the 8. Do you know how to round? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think the answer is A

OpenStudy (kamibug):

Well, check again ^.^ When you round you want to look at the number to the right of the 8, here it is a 5. When the number to the right of the 8 is 5 or above you need to turn the 8 into 9. So which would be your new answer? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

Great job ;D
