D. thousandths; 83.59
A?
I didn’t get the answer.
Yes, that's correct. The underlined place in 83.5851 is the thousandths place. So, rounding the number to that place would be 83.58.
To identify the underlined place in the number 83.5851, we need to look at the digit that comes after the decimal point. In this case, the underlined place is the thousandths place because it is the digit after the decimal point (5) and it is three places to the right of the decimal point.
Now, to round the number to the thousandths place, we need to look at the digit in the next place (tenthousandths place), which is 1. Since the digit in the thousandths place (5) is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the digit in the thousandths place.
Based on this, the rounded number to the thousandths place is 83.586.
Therefore, option A is incorrect. The correct answer is D. thousandths; 83.59
