Question

lan mailed a package that weighed 5.63 pounds. what is the first step in rounding this number to the neareast tenth? what is the next step? what 5.63 rounded to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer: 5.6

Explanation:

First, you need to determine if 5.63 's hundredth place which is 3, is greater or equal to five. If so, then round up.

However, 3 is less than five, so you don't do anything except reduce it to zero.

Now, your answer is 5.60.

Since there is no need to having a zero at the end, and the question requires to round it to the nearest tenth, you can claim that your answer is just 5.6.

Hope this helps!
