Question

What is 7.48 rounded to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

7.48 will round up to 7.5

Answer 2

7.5

Explanation:

We know that if a digit is greater than or equal to 5 then we remove that digit and add 1 to the digit just before that digit.

Also, if a digit is less than 5, then we just remove that digit and nothing else.

We need to round off 7.48 to the nearest tenth such that only one digit remains after the decimal point .

Here, the digit at hundreds place is 8 which is greater than 5, so we will round off digit before 8 i.e digit 4 to 5

So, 7.48 is rounded off to 7.5
