Answer 2

131.6

Explanation:

Since the 5 in 131.572 is underlined, we need to round the number to the nearest tenth. When rounding numbers, we need to look at the digit next to the rounded digit. The digit after 5 is 7.

If the digit after that is 1-4, we round down the 5. If the digit after that is 5-9, we round up the 5. Since 7 is between 5 and 9, we round the digit 5 to 6.

Thus, the rounded number would be: 131.6
