For this case we must round the following expression:

`387169.138383`

From right to left we have:

`3 <5` then we have:

`387169.13838`

`8> 5` then we have:

`387169.1384`

`4 <5` then we have:

`387169.138`

`8> 5`then we have:

`387169.14`

`4 <5`then we have:

`387169.1`

Answer 2

`387,169.1`

Explanation:

we know that

To Round a number

a) Decide which is the last digit to keep

b) Leave it the same if the next digit is less than
`5` (this is called rounding down)

c) But increase it by
`1` if the next digit is
`5` or more (this is called rounding up)

In this problem we have

`387,169.138383`

We want to keep the digit
`1`

The next digit is
`3` which is less than
`5`, so no change is needed to
`1`

therefore

the answer is

`387,169.1`
