Given the value:
8.72
Round decimal numbers.
Solution:
In rounding numbers, it must be taken to note that if the number is greater than or equal to 5 then the succeeding number will be added by 1, hence if the number is less than 5, then the succeeding number will remain the same. Since we are asked to round decimal numbers, this means that we need to round to the tenths place which is 7, since we only have two decimal places. Before 7 we have 2 which is less than 5, therefore we will retain 7 as it is.
= 8.72
= 8.7
Final answer:
= 8.7
