Options

• 13.57

• 14.5

• 13.6

Answer 1

13.572 correct to the tenths place is 13.6.

Explanation:

For rounding off to tenths place, we look at the hundredths place.

Here, the digit at hundredths place is 7 which is greater than 5.

So, the digit at the tenths place (5) will be increased by 1 and digits at the hundredths and thousandths place will be written as equal to zero.

Hence, rounding off 13.572 to nearest tenths, we get 13.6.
