If 6.382 is a decimal and not a percent then the percent has to be rewritten as a decimal before being added to it. Therefore, we first rewrite .625% as .00625.

6.382 + .00625 = 6.38825

This is closer to 6.375 than it is to 6.5, the nearest multiples of .125. So, you answer is 6.375 or 637.5%.

If you wanted to round to the nearest 1000th then the answer would have been 6.388 since the next digit is less than 5.

If 6.382 is actually a percent, then this is 6.382 + .625 = 7.007 %, which rounded to the nearest .125% is 7%.

However, if you wanted to add .625% OF 6.382 to 6.382 then you would multiply 6.382 by 1.00625 or multiply 6.382 by .00625 and then add the answer to 6.382. Your answer would then be 6.4218875 which is 6.375 when rounded to the nearest .125.

Hope this covers all your bases.

First of all, 6.382 + .625 is 7.007 (arithmetic!), so the nearest eighth is 7.0. You could also just round 6.382 to the nearest eighth (since you are adding 5/8 to it). The nearest eighth for 6.382 is 6 3/8 (6.375), and 6 3/8 + 5/8 = 7

When you add .625% (which is an itty bitty number, .00625), you do it by multiplying whatever by 1.00625.

6.382 * 1.00625 = 6.4218875.

Rounded to the nearest .125 is 6.500
