Question

Organic whole wheat flour sells in bags weighing 2.915 kilograms.

How much flour is this when rounded to the nearest tenth? Use a place value chart and number line to explain your thinking.

Answer 1

2.920

Step-by-step explanation:

This question tests your knowledge of approximation. If we look at the place values after the decimal point, we have, .915. This corresponds to hundredth, tenth and unit.

Since we have 9.15, in rounding it to the nearest tenth, we have to round it up to .920.

Hence, the weight of the flour to the nearest tenth is 2.920.
