what would you estimate 12.982 to the tens
I'll be glad to check your answer.
13.0. The 8 in the hundredths place is 5 or over, so you round it up. That makes the 9 in the tenths place a 10, which makes the number to the left of the decimal place 13. Remember to add the 0 in the tenths place as a place holder.
To estimate 12.982 to the tens place, we need to round the number to the nearest multiple of 10.
Step 1: Look at the digit in the tens place, which is the 8 in this case.
Step 2: Look at the digit to the right of the tens place, which is the 2.
Step 3: If the digit in the one's place (2 in this case) is less than 5, we round down. If it is 5 or greater, we round up.
Since the digit in the one's place (2) is less than 5, we round down.
Therefore, 12.982 rounded to the tens place is 10.
