Question

Round off 27.981 to nearest tenths.

Answer 1

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

Here, the digit at hundredths place is 8 which is greater than 5.

So, the digit at tenths place 9 will be increased by 1 and digits at the hundredths and thousandths place will be written as equal to zero.

Hence, rounding off 27.981 to nearest tenths, we get 28.
