What is 832.248 rounded to the nearest tenth? a. 830 b. 832.2 c. 832.25 d. 832.3

Hi there.

To start, we have to understand where the ten the place is.

Hint: it's 1 place behind the decimal point.

Now we need to know what numbers behind the tenths place make it round up or down.

If the number behind it is 4 or under, round down.

5 & up, round up.

In this case, 830.248 has 2 numbers behind the decimal, so we have to round those THEN the 2 in the tenths place.

830.25 to 830.3

Your answer is D. 830.3

I know this was lengthy, sorry. Just wanted to explain :p
