a. Round 3.892 to the nearest tenth:
To round a decimal number to the nearest tenth, you check the digit in the hundredth place. If it is 5 or greater, you round up; if it is less than 5, you round down.
In this case, the digit in the hundredth place is 9, which is greater than 5. Therefore, we round up to the nearest tenth.
The rounded number to the nearest tenth is 3.9.
b. Round 5.424 to the nearest hundredth:
To round a decimal number to the nearest hundredth, you check the digit in the thousandth place. If it is 5 or greater, you round up; if it is less than 5, you round down.
In this case, the digit in the thousandth place is 4, which is less than 5. Therefore, we round down to the nearest hundredth.
The rounded number to the nearest hundredth is 5.42.
c. Round 124.62 to the nearest whole number:
To round a decimal number to the nearest whole number, you check the digit in the tenths place. If it is 5 or greater, you round up; if it is less than 5, you round down.
In this case, the digit in the tenths place is 6, which is greater than 5. Therefore, we round up to the nearest whole number.
The rounded number to the nearest whole number is 125.
