What are the following numbers rounded to the nearest thousandth: 0.00673, 63.4982, 4.8919, 5.9198.
Are the last two 4.892 and 5.920?
The places to the right of the decimal point are
tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten-thousandths.
0.00673 = 0.007
63.4982 = 63.498
I'll be glad to check your answers for the last two numbers.
Right!
To round numbers to the nearest thousandth, we need to look at the digit in the fourth decimal place.
Let's go through each number one by one:
1. 0.00673: The fourth decimal place is 7. Since it is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the last digit in the thousandth place. Therefore, 0.00673 rounded to the nearest thousandth becomes 0.007.
2. 63.4982: The fourth decimal place is 8. Again, since it is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the last digit in the thousandth place. Therefore, 63.4982 rounded to the nearest thousandth becomes 63.498.
3. 4.8919: The fourth decimal place is 1. Since it is less than 5, we do not change the last digit in the thousandth place. Therefore, 4.8919 rounded to the nearest thousandth remains 4.892.
4. 5.9198: The fourth decimal place is 8. Just like before, it is greater than or equal to 5, so we round up the last digit in the thousandth place. Therefore, 5.9198 rounded to the nearest thousandth becomes 5.920.
So the numbers, when rounded to the nearest thousandth, are:
0.00673 = 0.007
63.4982 = 63.498
4.8919 = 4.892
5.9198 = 5.920
