Question

Round off 53.96 to the nearest tenth​

Answer 1

54.0

Explanation:

53.96

The bold number is in the tenth form and needs rounding off. So look at the number after the bold number (6).

Now 6 falls off the 5 or greater category, meaning that you have to add one to the bold number.

9 + 1 = 10

Now since the number is 10, you add the number before the bold number by 1 (underlined number) and replace the bold number by 0.

53.96

54.00

Since you are focusing on the tenth place, keep the zero sitting on that spot.

54.0
