146.627 rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot?
I got 146.6 but that wouldn't be it right, because it has to be a whole number so 147?
No.If that is 146.627 FEET (you don't have the unit) then 147 is rounded to the nearest foot. To the nearest 0.1 foot it must be 146.6 feet. Why must it be a whole number?
You're right. Rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot must be 146.6.
147 rounds it to the nearest foot.
thank you
You're welcome.
To round 146.627 to the nearest tenth of a foot, you need to look at the digit in the hundredth decimal place, which is 2 in this case. To round to the nearest tenth, you follow these steps:
1. Look at the digit immediately to the right of the tenth decimal place (which is the hundredth decimal place). If it is 5 or greater, you round up. If it is less than 5, you round down.
In this case, since the digit in the hundredth decimal place is 2, which is less than 5, you round down.
2. Replace all the digits to the right of the tenth decimal place with 0s.
So, rounding 146.627 to the nearest tenth of a foot would be 146.6, not 147.
