Question

How do you round 0.76133 to 1 decimal place?

Answer 1

`0.8`

Explanation:

`0color(red)(.7)color(blue)(6)133`

To round to 1 decimal place (which represents tenths), means we want the answer as either `color(red)(0.7)" or " color(red)(0.8)`

You need to look at the digit in the 2nd decimal place (hundredths).
If that digit is 5 or more, you round UP to the next tenth (8).

If that digit is less than 5 you round DOWN to the given tenth (7)

We see that the second digit is `color(blue)(6)`

We round up to 1 decimal place to get `color(red)0.8`

This is comparable to `76` being closer to `80` than `70`
