Round 9.564, or nine and
five hundred sixty-four
-
thousandths, to the
nearest tenth.
-
So let me write it a little
bit larger, 9.564.
-
And we need to round to
the nearest tenth.
-
So what's the tenth place?
-
The tenths place
is right here.
-
This right here represents
5 tenths.
-
This is the ones place, this is
the tenths place, this is
-
the hundredths place,
and this is the
-
thousandths place right here.
-
So we need to round to
the nearest tenth.
-
So if we round up,
this will be 9.6.
-
If we round down, this
will be 9.5.
-
And just like regular rounding,
when we're not
-
dealing with decimals, you move
to one spot, or you look
-
at one place to the right or one
place lower, I guess, and
-
you say is that 5 or larger?
-
If it is, you round up, if
it isn't, you round down.
-
6 is definitely 5 or larger,
so we want to round up.
-
So this 9.564 becomes 9.6,
or we can call this
-
nine and six tenths.
-
And then we're done!
