what is 3.16 rounded to the nearest tenth?

Question

what is 31.6 and 3.16 rounded to the nearest tenth?

Answer 1

the tenths place is the number right after the decimal point...

in this case the tenths place is 1...

When rounding just look at the following term, the term after what you are rounding to...

So in this case you look at the 6, since 6 is greater than or equal to 5, you increase the value of the tenths place to:

3.2


If you were given 3.14 or anything with a 2nd decimal place less than 5, then you would round down i.e. to 3.1

This is merely rounded up to 3.2

Answer 2

It would be 3.20, since the tenth decimal place is where the 1 is, what happens to it depends on the next number over, the 6. Usually, numbers that are greater than or equal to 5 are rounded up, so since the number is a 6, it falls into this category. Therefore, the 1 goes up to a 2, making the answer 3.20.

Answer 3

3.16 rounded to the nearest tenth is 3.20. In decimals, the tenth number is where the ones place is. The hundredths place is where the tens place is. The number outside the decimal, in this case, 3, is the whole number. Since the number in the tenths place is 5 or above (6), you need to round up with the hundredths digit, which will give you 3.20.
