This means there has to be three decimal places.
so your choices are 1.838 or 1.839
You increase the number if the one after it is 5 or greater.
This rounding is also referred to as to the nearest thousandths place.
1.839
Sure! To round a number to three decimal places, you need to look at the digit in the fourth decimal place.
In this case, the digit in the fourth decimal place is 7.
If the digit in the fourth decimal place is 5 or greater, you round up the last digit in the rounded number.
If the digit in the fourth decimal place is less than 5, you simply drop all the digits after the third decimal place.
So, for the number 1.8387, we look at the digit in the fourth decimal place, which is 7. Since 7 is greater than 5, we round up the last digit in the rounded number (which is 8), and drop all the digits after the third decimal place.
Therefore, rounding 1.8387 to three decimal places gives us 1.839.
