Ok so basically the 9 is in the tenths place, the one is in the hundredths place, and the first 2 is in the thousandths place

How would I round the 2 would I cancel the 2 behind it or keep it the same?

hockeychick23 · Answer

You only round up if the number after the first 2 is above 5, but it isn't so if you need to round to the hundredths you round down, in other words it would be 0.912

hockeychick23 · Answer

Sorry typo round to the thousandths

anonymous · Answer

So if I had a larger number thatI would round like 0.2382 And I had to round the eight would I keep the numbers behind it or would I throw them out?

hockeychick23 · Answer

if they were asking you to round to the thousands you would throw the 2 out. however if it said 0.2385, then you would round to 0.239

anonymous · Answer

Alright so you would throw the number out behind the  number being rounded no mtter if it went up or stayed the same?

anonymous · Answer

Matter*

hockeychick23 · Answer

no it depends on if it is 5 or above or not, anything above five rounds the number before it up, but anything 4 or under you throw out

anonymous · Answer

Alright. Then I think this is the last one 74.879 the eight is underlined would I keep the numbers behind the eight?

hockeychick23 · Answer

Ok so it is asking you to round to the tenths place if the 8 is underlined, which would mean in this case yes you round up so you would write 74.9
