Round each decimal to the nearest thousandth. (a) 0.8 (line above 8) (b) 0.4 (line above 4) (c) 0.9762 (d) 0.8645

검증된 단계별 안내

Understand that rounding to the nearest thousandth means keeping three digits after the decimal point and deciding whether to round the last digit up or keep it the same based on the digit immediately after it.

For each decimal, identify the digit in the thousandths place (the third digit after the decimal point). If the number has fewer than three digits after the decimal, consider adding zeros to reach the thousandths place.

Look at the digit immediately to the right of the thousandths place (the ten-thousandths place). If this digit is 5 or greater, increase the thousandths digit by 1; if it is less than 5, leave the thousandths digit as is.

Apply this rule to each decimal: (a) 0.8 (with a repeating 8), (b) 0.4 (with a repeating 4), (c) 0.9762, and (d) 0.8645, carefully determining the thousandths digit and the next digit to decide rounding.

Write the rounded number for each part, ensuring it has exactly three digits after the decimal point, reflecting the rounding decision made in the previous step.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Place Value and Decimal Notation

Understanding place value is essential for rounding decimals. Each digit in a decimal number has a specific place, such as tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. Recognizing these positions helps determine which digit to round to and which digit influences the rounding.

Rounding Rules

Rounding involves looking at the digit immediately to the right of the target place value. If this digit is 5 or greater, increase the target digit by one; if less than 5, keep the target digit the same. This rule ensures numbers are approximated correctly to the desired precision.

Repeating Decimals

Repeating decimals have one or more digits that repeat infinitely, indicated by a line over the repeating digit(s). When rounding repeating decimals, treat the repeating digit as if it continues and apply rounding rules accordingly to approximate the value to the specified decimal place.
