Round 5/9 percent to the nearest thousandth
Divide 5 by 9 on your calculator...
you obtain
0.55555...
to round to the nearest thousandth find that spot then if the number to the right is 5 or above round up : )
To round 5/9 percent to the nearest thousandth, first convert it into decimal form.
5/9 percent can be written as 5/9 * 1/100 or 0.05/1/9. Simplifying this gives us 0.055.
Now, the thousandth place is the third decimal place. By looking at the digit in the fourth decimal place (0.055), which is 5, we can determine how to round. If the digit in the fourth decimal place is 5 or greater, we round up. If it is less than 5, we round down. In this case, the digit in the fourth decimal place is 5, so we round up the digit in the thousandth place.
Therefore, rounding 0.055 to the nearest thousandth would give us 0.056.
To round a decimal number to the nearest thousandth, you need to look at the digit in the fourth decimal place.
In the given number, 5/9 percent can be written as 0.55555... (because 5/9 is a recurring decimal). However, we only need to consider the thousandths place, which is the third digit after the decimal point.
The digit in the fourth decimal place is 5. Since it is equal to or greater than 5, we round up the last digit in the thousandths place, which is 5.
Therefore, rounding 5/9 percent to the nearest thousandth gives us 0.556.
