Question

Identify the underlined place in 83.5851. Then, round the number to that place.

A. Thousandths; 83.58
B. Hundredths; 83.59
C. Hundredths; 83.58
D. Thousandths; 83.59

Answer 1

So assuming the underlined decimal is the second 8, let's answer the question.

Hundreds: 0 | Tens: 8 | ones: 3 | . | tenths: 5 | hundredths: 8 | thousandths: 5 | 10 thousandths: 1

So since the second 8 is in the hundredths place, we know it's either B or C.

When we round for 5, we always round up, so the answer would be 83.59

So the answer is B.
